First Model
-Neil Dennis - Denny Dart II |
|
| Neil Dennis (wombat) Denny Dart | |
 |
 |
| The bare bones of the original Denny Dart. | Denny Dart passing close overhead creates neat effect. |
 |
 |
| Weather was still warm enough for outdoor flying in Minnesota. |

| Denny Dart II on a warm January day in Minnesota. |
Yes, it really is getting higher. |
 |
 |
| Best flight indoors 1:09 - on an earlier flight the plane had become stuck on a high ledge at 44 seconds. At that point I knew that breaking one minute indoors was easily within reach. But it took several more flights before breaking a minute because of bad hits to the ceiling. |  |

Jun From Manila and the Skinny Cat |
|
 |
 |
| Skinny Cat flew very well outside also. | The hill is farther away than it looks. |
 |
 |
| Pictures of Skinny Cat that Jun had sent me. | Jun got the best performance on 7" prop. |
 |
 |
| The wing is built flat and tip dihedral is cut into wing after covering. | The ribs are a combination of 1/16" square bottom and 1/16" sheet rib on top. |
 |
 |
| Wrinkled tissue was used on all surfaces to reduce warping. When tips are glued per plan, automatic washout is created. | My Skinny Cat basks in the sun coming in the windows. |
Geoff Bower and the EZP (Easy Plane)

Wish I had Geoff's indoor flying site! |

 |
 |
| Adjust wing with enough positive incidence to slow speed down and extend duration. | My best flight with EZP under 22 foot ceiling was 1:30. |
Air Hare - Ben Thomson and Lee Wang

| Generous dihedral seen from this angle. | A couple more turns and it would be rafter banging time. |
