Henry Loewen's 14 foot Sailaire is resting and refueling between flights.  The electric powered glider needs to recharge its battery before each flight.  You can see the charging cable from the car battery to the plane on the full scale photograph.
Here are three of Wil Coder's models on the flight line.  It appears that some maintenance is required on one of them.  However, Wil could be showing how he accomplishes a particular control hookup.

Jon Polay asks "Which of my many planes should I fly this time?".  Jon has quite a diversified set of excellently constructed and finished models.
Looks like the "Jet" model was selected for the next flight.  In contrast to the jet appearance of this airplane it is powered by a conventional glow plug engine and prop.  Like a jet however, it does fly fast!
