FREE FLIGHT SCALE
HI SKYSTERS! For those of us who like
to finish off a splendid meal with a fine
dessert, the Flying Aces Club (FAC)
Outdoor Championships held in Muncie,
Indiana, the weekend of September 11-12,
2004, was the final course for the Flying
Aces Nationals held in Geneseo, New
York, July 16-18, 2004.
As is a good dessert, the Muncie
gathering was smaller and sweeter than
Geneseo, and, for this year at least,
Muncie’s weather stood in brilliant contrast
to the unusually cloudy and wet fare of this
year’s FAC Nats.
I covered the FAC Nats for MA this
year, and the article is featured in this issue.
It is beyond the scope of this column and it
would be pointless to paraphrase what I
have already written about the FAC Nats. It
is also unnecessary to report at length on
Muncie. To give you a taste of the latter, I
will describe the WW I Dogfight event held
at 1 p.m. Saturday, September 11.
There were 16 contestants signed up for
the dogfight (eight less than the 24 who
competed at Geneseo), but spirits were high
and the event was just as lively. The
contestants were evenly divided into two
fights (A and B) of eight fliers each. Event
Director Dave Livesay announced that the
first four down of each flight would be
eliminated. The survivors of each flight
would then be combined into one group
from which the first four down would be
eliminated, leaving the surviving four to
compete for final honors.
After Dave’s orientation, the
preliminary flights took place. Bob
Bojanowski (with a 30-inch-span S.E.5a),
Walt Farrell, Don Srull, and Chris Starleaf
(all flying models of the Fokker D.VII)
made up the final four.
Chris blew his motor during the winding
phase and was eliminated. The three
remaining fliers formed a line abreast at
close intervals. The command to launch
was given, and the three models began to
rise majestically above the crowd.
Suddenly Don’s D.VII veered sharply to
the left and fused itself with Bob’s S.E.5a.

The aeronautically impossible
combination tumbled to the ground, with
Don’s model smashing terra firma first and
presenting him with an undisputed third
place. The hapless Bob finished a close
second, and the undaunted Walt flew on to
an uncontested victory dance.
The incredulous Chris was heard to
exclaim that he might have been in the
winner’s circle if he had simply thrown his
motorless D.VII into the final flight. It
ended so abruptly that his model might
have still been gliding when Don’s and
Bob’s models went down!
One of the most impressive models at
the Muncie FAC meet was the 22-inchspan
Myster Tailless flown by Dave
Niedzielski of Easy Built Models. The

light, silver-covered, tailless biplane
configuration is based on the famous
Flying Flea design that was a sensation
with European home-builders who thought
of it as a “crashproof” configuration
suitable for even novice aviators.
Serious problems were eventually
encountered with the full-scale
configuration, but no such complications
have risen with the Easy Built version.
Dave’s prototype, powered by two 16-inch
loops of 1⁄8-inch FAI rubber, flew an
amazing 11 minutes, 29 seconds in one
thermal-assisted flight!
Since the model design was published
in 1940, Easy Built’s Mystery Tailless is
eligible for Old Time Rubber, FAC Fiction
Fighter, and Society of Antique Modelers
events. Easy Built was the 2004 sponsor of
the FAC Nats’ Fiction Fighter event. Only
a flexible machine gun was added to help
the model meet FAC armament
requirements.
The outstanding Mystery Tailless kit
comes complete with full-sized, rolled
CAD plans, building instructions, precision
laser-cut balsa parts, hand-picked balsa
strip wood, an FAI rubber motor, a Peck
propeller (and nose bearing), balsa wheel
blanks, new Tissuecal markings (printed
tissue like decals but much lighter), and
Easy Built Lite silver tissue. At the modest
cost of $19.95, this kit is among the best
buys on today’s market.
At the outset of this column, I promised to
tell you about the vendors serving our
hobby interest. They are a small group who
strive to bring you new tools, materials,
gadgets, memorabilia, models, and ideas
that keep FF Scale a dynamic, exciting,
and constantly growing activity.
Some of these enterprising souls are
preserving, restoring, and memorializing
the best of our hobby’s rich past so that
newcomers and those still to arrive will be
able to grasp where our hobby has been
and where it can be taken as time and
technology evolve. Since I have written
about a product from Easy Built Models, I
will tell you more about the company and
its present activities.
Dave Niedzielski acquired Easy Built
from its Canadian owners in 1998 and
moved it to his home in Erie,
Pennsylvania. In 2002, Dave’s full-time
employer relocated its Erie operation to
Prattville, Alabama (north of
Montgomery), and Easy Built went with
the Neidzielskis to their new home.
Finding a suitable place for Easy Built’s
operations, the Neidzielskis built a new
facility on their property.
Easy Built currently markets more than
160 kits. Many are long-standing Easy
Built designs, but they are being improved.
The newest kits include laser-cut parts,
carefully selected balsa sheet and strip
wood, high-quality colored tissue,
upgraded plans, building instructions, and
accessories.
Dave takes great pains to ensure that
the laser-cut balsa parts are accurate. New
kits are typically built completely to make
sure the pieces fit. The parts patterns are
sent to the laser-cutters, who make the first
run of kit pieces. These are returned to
Easy Built, where they are checked again
for accuracy. Any errors found are brought
to the laser-cutters’ attention. The
prototype cuttings are sent back to Easy
Built for checking. Only when Easy Built
is satisfied are the final parts made and
placed in kits.
The company has expanded its product
line to include balsa, colored tissue, and
adhesives. How-to books have been added
to Easy Built’s line to further educate and
assist modelers with the skills needed to
guarantee good results and stimulate skill
growth. Easy Built kits are being marketed
worldwide and may be found in hobby
stores, gift shops, and museums.
In spite of its production and marketing
sophistication, Easy Built is a familyowned
and -operated enterprise. Dave still
works at his regular job but provides
leadership and inspiration. His wife Ann
handles the orders and day-to-day business
operations. The Neidzielskis’ sons Chris
(21) and Stephen (19) help with production
handling. Orders come from around the
world, and they are filled promptly and
efficiently.

Models, you can write to Box 681749,
Prattville AL 36068. You can place orders
by calling (334) 358-5184 or visiting the

You will be pleased with the quality of the
products.
I have almost used up my space for this
issue, but I want to make you aware of a
couple more things. Possibility
Press/Aeronautical Publishers is owned by
Mike and Marjie Markowski. They offer a
colorful and informative array of
Aeronautical Publishers’ titles, American
Aeronautical Archives fine reprints, and
fully assembled and painted historical
models. They also actively assist would-be
