FREE FLIGHT SPORT - 2003/08
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: Some are lamenting the fact
that modelers in the US are not developing model-building skills,
but are relying on prebuilt models for everything from sport Radio
Control flying to competition Free Flight. On the bright side, we are
helping to develop a whole generation or two of skilled model
builders in China, Mexico, and Eastern Europe!

ONE OF MY favorite model designers of the
late 1950s was Keith Laumer. His sport FF
designs were unique and downright cute. The
ones that keep popping into my head are the
Twin Lizzie, the Zoomerang, the Curvette, the
Dan’l Boom, the Dub-L Dek-R, and the V
Girl.

THE STARDUSTER X event at the 2007
FF Nats will include any prior year’s 1/2A
One Design of the Year model. Engine
requirements will remain the same:
Nostalgia-legal power plants for Nostalgia
models and Tee Dees for others, such as the
Starduster X, last year’s Mini Pearl, and the
Space Rod from 2001.

TRIMMING A FREE Flight model is like working a jigsaw
puzzle. Well, it’s sort of like working a jigsaw puzzle if you stretch
the analogy almost as far as it can go and still maintain some
semblance of a cogent line of reasoning.
