Tom Dixon's Time Machine?

Can someone post some pictures of Tom Dixon's Time Machine?

Here are a couple.

The first one is my stock Time Machine. The green and gray one is the rebuild after an engine glitch. I now call it "Timeless".

It's a great flying machine, but somewhat homely, IMHO.

Enjoy,

Not Homely: Utilitarian.

I rather like the rebuild.

My first choice of words was "ugly", but the design flies too well for that tag.

After the engine glitch, I decided I wanted it to look like my other ships. I took my Alouette fuselage plans and down-sized them 5 percent. I like the look much better and the plane still flies great.

Not ugly at all. Can you give some specs? What engine are you using?

The Time Machine is a scaled down Patternmaster. Big fat foam wing with 650 square inches of area.

IIRC, Tom designed it to use the Patternmaster's ST 60 (and his Double Star 60). I'm using a RO-Jett 61 RE with a header muffler between the gear legs.

In the hands of an expert (see Tom Luper or Steve Fitton) it is a very competitive machine.

Ron,

Tom Luper flew the School Bus (Time Machine) to one of the best patterns I have ever seen anywhere. I forget where .....he won though just like he should have!

Ron;

There is also a Time Machine 40, which is also a good flyer and puts a little stress on ageing shoulders.
