Pieces
PIECES IS a composite approach. I have taken two different models, added my own prop, and have come up with what I think is a very fine Easy B. I must thank Pete Andrews and Ron Roberti for two fine Easy B designs, but I feel that when they are combined, they make a much better model. Pieces will fly with the best, but times go up dramatically as the weight goes down. My first ship weighed 1.4 grams and flew for eight minutes in a 40-ft. ceiling. With greater care in wood selection and building techniques, the latest Pieces weighs .68 grams and has flown 21 minutes in the 180-ft. hangar at Akron. Pieces won the 1980 Nats with a time of 16:44 in 64 ft., at .85 grams. There is no doubt that this ship is a winner.
