ADRIFT on the AIR

1/2A Texaco Bomber

Hi Tom: This is the 1/2A Irish flag Bomber. Many years ago, 1977 or 1978, I met Chet Lanzo at a Sam Champs in the Pines of N.J. The next week, Chet sent me plans for the Bomber. About 1995 I started to build the 1/2A version. The Stardust Special stopped all my other airplane building. After I gave away a bunch of airplanes, I dusted off the old Bomber parts and completed the airplane. The only silk I had was green and orange so it's my Irish flag Bomber. John A Sullivan

 Or, Côte d'Ivoire depending on whether it's coming or going...

Sokol 465 G Electro Rubber

 Hi all,

 

I finished the construction of the 3 Sokol 465 G Electro Rubber models that have kept me out of the snow and ice in a nice warm workshop…..  It’s 13°F  outside now!  (same here in Columbus!)

As soon as I get the rest of the gear for them, I will be covering them.

 

Looks like there isn’t any problem with them coming in at the 12 oz. minimum.  All the framed up, models with servos in them, come up to about 5 oz.

As you see them, so that gives plenty of weight left to work with.  The one shown with motor, prop and even the servo extensions weighs 6.4 oz.

 

Want to thank Dennis for drawing and making the cutting files and especially 

László Török 

 (Laci) for sharing this fine World Champs winning design from Czechia , so that

we here in SAM in the US can also enjoy it.  Thanks Rick Holman for the great short kit and especially fine laser cutting.

 

This will be a great model to kick off our new SAM event for the next rules cycle of this event: Electro Rubber.

 

Thanks,

Jay Burkart
