Dixie-Gal
CLASS-A GAS is the most hotly contested event in free-flight power competition today. I feel this is due to a number of factors: availability of a number of good factory engines not requiring tuning, a good manageable size model, FAI power influence and, above all, spectacular performance. One only needs to check entries in A-gas at the Nats or the U.S. Free Flight Champs at Taft, or note the contests requiring a fly-off to settle final standings, to confirm this popularity. As with most free-flight models Dixie-Gal came about in an effort to build a better mousetrap. I had always admired "Geodetic" or "Union Jack" structures and for some time have eyed the 1/2-A Galaxie by Vic Cunningham.
