158 MODEL AVIATION
SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI: The Spirits
of Saint Louis RC Flying club held its fifth
annual open house and it was the bestattended
one yet. This is a free event for
fliers and spectators.
Gene Jones looks on while Les Richman
cranks the self-starter on his ST 3000-
powered, 1/4-scale Citabria.
There were 44 pilots and almost 90
models. W. Wilson, the club secretary, sent
in the following information with pictures.
Here is Mark Trent flying his 44% 50-pound
Yak 55SP. The model is powered by a
Desert Aircraft twin 150 engine.
The Spirits’ chief flight instructor, Bob
Gizzie, assembles the club trainer while a
young spectator anxiously awaits his first RC
flight.
Jim Lanzendorf harriers with his Giant
Ultimate Bipe while Mark Trent
accompanies in the background.
The Greg Pugh family did a great job
running the concession stand. No one left
hungry.
The club sends a big thanks to Mark
Twain Hobbies, Schaeffer’s Hobbies, and
Morris Hobbies for their contributions.
Davenport, Iowa: John Kroeger sent in a
picture of his seven-foot-wingspan B-29. He
has flown quite a bit but never at the Nats.
My comment to him is come and join the
fun at the 2006 Nats in Muncie, Indiana.
Rock Island, Illinois: Here’s a neat hint for
winter flying from Fred Winthrust, a
member of the Quad-City Skyraiders.
A plastic wheel pant split in half with
hardwood pieces glued in place will make a
quick pair of skis.
