Here's one of Jerry Keller's two large Hawker

Hunters on Its final approach. It's powered by an

AMT turbine engine and weighs 32 pounds.

The Dassault Falcon 10 is an unusual subject, but it was very well

executed. Scratch-built by Tim Davis of nearby Jacksonville, FL, this

aircraft is powered by a pair of RAM 500s. Unfortunately, it had

mechanical problems and didn't fly at the meet.

Eddie Weeks, who in years past has shown up with a pair of giant

DC-lOs carved from foam and powered by two turbines each, treated

us this year to an air vehicle simply called "The Rig." It's a 33-

pound, turbine-powered AT450 vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)

model. It uses electric motors with props at the extremities for stabi-

lization. Although I didn't see it, sources tell me that it actually does

VTOL and hover nicely. Eddie's model is very innovative and is the

kind of thing we've come to expect from him. I've no doubt that

other projects like this are lurking in the wings; it surely is an excit-

ing time for jet modelers!

Among the standouts in flight performance was Stephan Voelker

flying a large-scale Czech Albatross L-39. This guy is a World Jet

champ, and it shows. His flying routine kept the model in close and

was very impressive, not unlike full-scale aerobatic demos seen at

the Paris Air Show and Farnborough.

Ali Machinchy was equally proficient at driving Alan Cardash's

Big Boomerang around the patch. This P120-powered machine was

absolutely amazing to watch as it routinely performed 15-foot take-

offs and 50-foot full-stop landings. What occurred between those

two events was unbelievable; picture an IMAC event with 40 per-

cent Extras and CAPs doing their routines. Ali made the same

ith this yVi-foot-span sport jet! It's

capable of rolling circles, tail slides

and inside and outside snaps, plus it

has unmatched slow-flight qualities.

On a more conventional sport-jet

note, Jason Somes borrowed Bob

Wilcox's Hot Spot—and probably a

huge quantity of JP-4—and proceeded

to fly almost all day. Even on Friday,

with a lot of overcast, the Hot Spot

could be seen flat spinning slowly

down from just below the cloud

deck; then, it stabilized and acceler-

ated to some of the lowest passes

I've ever seen.

Marc Frohm's Eurofighter from the

FiberClassics kit showed its wide

speed envelope with everything

from remarkable high-G maneuvers
