Focal Point
Gipsy Moth
Carl Mohs (5024 Lake Mendota Dr., Madison, WI 53705) built his 50-inch-span Gipsy Moth from September 1994 MA plans. Power is an O.S. 20 four-stroke. The four-channel radio has Hitec servos and an Airtronics transmitter.
The model is patterned after the aircraft used in the Robert Redford/Meryl Streep movie Out of Africa.
Proud of his Gee Bee
Dan Barnhart (Box 875579, Wasilla, AK 99687) built this Gee Bee R-2 from a Herr Engineering kit. "It took me 88 hours to complete a very nice kit," he wrote. "I entered it in the Alaska State Fair this fall and it took second place in the open class/kit division."
Dan is especially proud of the tissue trim: "It's not painted."
CAP 231
Bill Butters (111 Grotto Ct., Florissant, MO 63031) is shown with granddaughter Meagan. Bill designs, builds, and flies prototype R/C airplanes for Boeing Phantom Works in St. Louis.
The aircraft is an Aeropro CAP 231, powered by a G-62. Covering is MonoKote. Radio is by Futaba, with a TME smoke system.
