Goldberg Sailplane

Restoration complete. For some reason, the Oracover looks wrinkled in the photo but is smooth in person.

Garami Strato Streak (Speed 400)

 Flew well.  Might want a tad more nose weight.   Frankie was surprised that the ESC was a throttle.  He thought on/off.  Will take some getting used to.   Elevator needs a little taming, not sure about the rudder.  Three or four flights, each one better, A bit of breeze but she went home in the same condition she came to the field.

 

Stay well.

1938 Twin Cyclone by Tom Laurie (Ft. Wayne) ~ Zaic '38 Yearbook

 


Hello, Thomas.  I hope this finds you well and thought you might enjoy these shots.  It flew a treat.   Your brother was on the sticks with Francis X standing within about 10 inches of him.   Beautiful aircraft.  It wanted a bit of tuning of the radio and a bit of expo.  Still a thing of beauty in the evening light.

 

stay well,

kind regards,

jimdonick
