Yup, that's me, new plane, Freshman year in HS, age 14, Pullman, WA. Site was right next to the WSC Field House (shadow), rt. field of the baseball field. Steel fin Fox .15, flaps linked to elevators. No idea what happened to it, but it didn't last very long. I really dislike the yellow diamonds. What the he!! was I thinkin'????

And the pilot is classic legal, too.

Leo, It would have been designed in '58, as this was Spring of '59. I graduated HS in '63, after only 4 years. NOT OTS LEGAL! Go figure!

It was kinda cute, 'cept the yellow diamonds. Needed some Missle Mist and more flap to elevator, longer TMA and bigger horiz. tail. Draw it up, and I'll sign it!

Pretty cool Steve. Does it have a name? Steve Helmick Diamond Special?

I still have a Fox 15 steel fin, and also a 15x.
