Dave Pratt submitted photos of his Bellanca Decathlon 1/4 scale.  It will be powered by a
SuperTigre 2500 turning a 18x8 prop.  Right side door and left side window are functional.
 Wingspan is 97".  Just need to install the windshield and Dave will begin covering with
Coverite and dope.
Above are pictures of Dave's completed Decathlon.  It weighs 16 lbs, is covered with
Coverite iron-on fabric, and painted with Sig dope.  Power is provided by a SuperTigre
2000/25cc glow.  Servos are standard 1/4 scale servos with a 1200 mah battery pack.
This photo is Dave's twin Comanche,  nearing completion.
Dave built it from a kit that has been setting around for twelve
years.
Power is 2 - .45 - 2cycle glow engines.  It has mechanical retracts.

Thanks Dave
Dave has completed his twin Comanche.  It looks great Dave.

Here are some pictures of my resurrection of a Dumas Swamp Buggy I built 29 years ago
for my son David.  At the time I had no idea how to fiberglass the hull, so it only lasted 3
years, and the hull started taking on water.  I have since glassed the hull and made some
minor repairs, found a used K&B 61, and here is the result.
