A close-up of the Brooklyn Dodger. These solid rubber wheels turned out to be too heavy. I have since changed to wooden wheels, which are much lighter, and better. I plan to fly it at Barron Field in Wawayanda, NY. I made a few test flights there, but the wind picked up so I never got it trimmed. Maybe next year.

This is an Brooklyn Dodger replica, powered by a Cox Tee-Dee .020. Built from a kit. 

The Lark. I had the plans from an old Jetco kit. This version is powered by a Cox .010 engine, and it can also be built as a rubber-powered model. I have flown it at a local football field. The .010 engine is incredibly powerful. After launch, the model climbs gradually for a second or two; then the engine leans out, the it goes into a vertical climb -- it goes up like a bottle rocket. It then settles into a flat, circular glide, and lands on the wheels. Awesome.

I made a second trip to the Teaneck Armory last week. Again, I saw some very cool models. I flew two freeflight models: a Peck-Polymers profile Stinson, and an embryo endurance model, the Debut kitted by Easy-Built Models. Both flew very well. I got some help from one of the guys there on trimming the Debut. He suggested shortening the motor. This gave me less turns, but more power (so it could climb higher) and less weight. Both models flew extremely well.
