![]() Here's the Red Racer, one of This Month's Models. Note that there are no pants on the landing gear, a nice weight-saving that may have been a feature of the full-size aircraft. |

![]() The "Webby," built by Bob Spink; the plan was in October 2009 Windy Sock. Bob says it's a "good flyer," a term subject to wide interpretations among free-flighters. In our opinion, applying it to Webby would mean a nice take-off from water, a wide circle at about 20' altitude and a gentle landing on water. Let's hear more about it! |

![]() Bill Hannan sent us this photograph of the Zlin 526 AS "Akrobat"; the plan for a catapult glider model was in November 2009 Windy Sock. It would be nice to see successful scale catapult gliders on the free-flight scene. |
