Tentative dates for our 3rd Annual "1/2A" (actually .061 max, each engine) multi-engine profile scale meet are are October 10-11, 2009. This meet, growing in popularity, is a fun change-of-pace from the usual Stunt Wars.

We'll again offer two categories: 'Limited' for models having only pitch control, plus 'Unlimited' for those entries having throttles and any number of in-flight options.

Rules are essentially unchanged from 2008...just fine-tuned a bit. If you'd like a copy, e-mail me at vsc-guy(at)cox(dot)net.

Why are we posting this info so early? Because these little works of art take FOREVER to properly build, finish and detail.

EDIT, 12/17/08: It probably would've been a good idea to let you know that this gathering will be in Tucson, Arizona --- same flying site as the VSC.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

I've got to ask about the props on that A-26, though. What are they, where did they come from? Awsome airplane!

God bless!

Thanks, Mike. Those are the display props. Made from 3-blade Master Airscrew 7-4s, they were cut to 6" diameter and re-shaped to resemble the "paddle blade" props (reportedly from DC-6s) used on the A-26As based at Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, c.1968.

For flight I used two-blade APC 6-3s. (Photo below by Dick Byron)
