Last saturday, I neglected to write down exactly what Flitestreak and engine everyone was flying. I know it sounds simple, everyone was flying a Flitestreak! I know that most of the contestants have access to SSW, so I'm asking them (or anyone who knows) here.

But there are scratchbuilt,Topflight, Brodak, and ARF Flitestreaks.
I would like to know what everyone was flying on september 27. We would like to send in a contest report to Stunt News, and it always is more interesting if you have the airplane and engine listed along with the score.

Here is the list in order of placing. If you know who flew what would you please let me know?

Open Flitestreak Stunt Type of Flitestreak Engine

1. Joe Bowman
2. Bill Wilson
3. Bob Brookins
4. Earl Draper
5. John(Doc) Holliday

Beginner Flitestreak Stunt

1. Jerry Leuty
2. Bill Gilder

The Guys seemed to really enjoy the event. A Flitestreak Flies differently than a full stunt airplane.

De,

Joe Bowman's is a Top Flight ARF with a LA .25. He flys it on 60'eyelet to eyelet .015 lines and thinks it is a great little plane.
You could have had another entry if you had allowed me to enter the one I built. As you were the CD I didn't argue about being disqualified because I built the model. See you next year.

No John! you could have entered you just wouldn't have received any ARF points. You know them ARF points can make a difference in the whole outcome

I missed Joe's flight but I did watch a good portion of Bill Wilsons and I can tell you he didn't know it wasn't a stunter.

Wrong Bob! That was why I was not allowed to enter. No ARF points. De made this very clear in the discussion which preceeded the fist fight which he and I had. (Sorry you missed it) I would have whipped both Bowman and Wilson severly if I had been allowed to fly. But such is life! Bill obviously doesn't know that Flight Streaks were great Combat planes back when. Bowman has flown a few in Combat and that is why he busted Bill's tail. Ain't life grand?
