Ring Wing - 2005/04

IF YOU ARE the type of FF modeler
who enjoys trying something unique, this
model may be just the thing for you.
Anyone can build a Piper Cub that flies.
Show me someone who can make a
flying wing or a canard fly, and I’ll show
you a real modeler. This is not to say
there’s anything wrong with Piper Cubs,
but the challenge of a radical planform is
intriguing.

Victory for Air XX

Years ago, when I was flying a great deal of outdoor free flight, I discovered the Korda rubber model that was kitted by Byrd Company. One of my neighbors built this model when he was about 17 years old. I was about 10 years old when my buddy Chuck and I happened onto the field, where Lupe Simon was testing his newly completed Korda. We were awed by the performance of this large model. This experience was responsible for directing my interest to free flight in general and rubber powered free flight in particular.
