Another model from the Cameron hangar


Owen's hand Launch Ringmaster. Handy for those long grass days.

Alan Beggs' Bi-Slob.

Alan test flew his Bi-Slob on Sunday in Townsville. It loops, inside and outside, very tightly. Wingovers, Eights and Inverted were also completed.  Line tension is not very strong considering the amount of engine offset and rudder offset. Hovering was not attempted.

      Will Deal's VOODOO     


A couple of snaps of the Voodoo (modified tip shape by me!) finished by Peter Allan. PA made a tongue muffler to fit the OS 30. It flew very steady with a great 4/2/4 engine run. He reckons he will add a tad of weight to rear to make a little more responsive. It was a thrill to see it fly so well.Certainly created a lot of interest too.

Tassie Simple Rat Racing.

The first Simple Rat Race event is to be held on the 3rd March, 2012. Probably at the Richmond field or Tony Gray's place. Owen Cameron, Tony Gray and myself have built some Rat Racers. I test flew mine recently and apart from the fuel shut-off being a bit sticky, it flew like a dream.  The fuel shut-off has since been fixed.

Here's a couple of pics of my Whyalla Rat.....



Here's a few photos sent in by Tony Gray. If that OS .15 goes anything like the one I had a few years ago, he'll take some catching!




Here's one from Owen - Flash as a rat with a gold tooth!
