Those of you who know John Shenk are probably well aware of his interest in the Italian Falco aircraft. He has been building Falco models for many years now. Here is a photo of his latest.
This is a quarter scale version of the aircraft. John asked Woody to help with the first flights until the airplane was trimmed properly. The flights went well and, although it still needs some adjustments, John was very pleased with these first flights. He really appreciates Woody's help.

Chuck Paulson's Aerial View of our Flying Area
On Sunday afternoon, October 12, 2003, Chuck Paulson took these aerial photos of the SCRC Flying Field and the surrounding area. Click on any photo to see a larger view which is about 1/4th of the full size photo. Clicking on the 1/4th size photo will bring up the full size photo. Note that it will take longer to download the larger photos.
Here is Chuck's description of his experience taking the photos:
The three photos below show (1) a view down the valley looking from high above the field to the east, (2) a view of Eby Paving on the right and the east end of the mine across 64. It's looking almost due south from the east edge of the flying field. Garbrick Rd would be just off the right hand side of the picture. , (3) a view looking SW from the field. The main road from lower left to upper right is 64 and Garbrick Rd would be just off the bottom of the picture. You can also see the west end of a big open pit mine.

Mike Songer's Airborne Video
Mike has made several videos using the twin engine airplane
shown on the left. The plane is ready to carry a small video camera that records the
full flight.
A video clip is available for download and viewing. The clip was made during a flight in the Blanchard Dam area. Several short sections from the original video are presented in the file below. Please note that the video file is nearly 6 Mbytes and will take several minutes (18.5 minutes on my 56k modem) to download. Click here to see the video.

Henry's Corsair at the Fun Fly |
Henry's report on the Corsair's maiden flight
This past Sunday at the club picnic (May 19 , 2002 ), I got around to flying the Corsair ( which had been in the in the archived photos that I built in 1996 ) and everything went splendidly. I took off and tested everything on the first flight, gear up, straight and level flight, rolls , loops, and at the suggestion of Jon Polay, a strafing pass down on the deck. I didn't even have to make any trim changes. Then on landing, flaps down which slowed it to a crawl, and touchdown. What a relief ! Everything still in one piece.
The following photos of Henry's Corsair have been moved from the archives to show more details of this fine plane
Henry Loewen with his latest project, a Corsair. Click on the thumbnails below to see the photos full size.
