THIS article is dedicated to George Sugiuichi, one of those rare trusting souls with a spirit of adventure that every free flight designer dreams about. George built one of my 1/2A Maverick designs and really liked the way it flew, but had trouble winning with it in Class A because of its small size. All the ships that kept beating him were larger .19-powered models like my Flying Burrito Brother. The Maverick more than held its own against ships its own size, but these bigger bullies took advantage of the laws of nature and outclassed any 1/2 A flying against them. (The smaller 1/2 A model also had a visibility problem, since it tended to get lost easily, both in the air and on the ground.)
