Old time Fav Slime Plane!

[rcflyer]

This is one I put a lot of miles on in the early 90's. Laser built from a kit (I just can't remember which one...Not a Lanier.)

Good old fashion G-62 with Bill Cunningham Electronic Ignition. Great scale aerobatic (pattern). We didn't know what 3D was.

Man....this thread has me digging into the old pics. Good memories.

Oooops....not a slimer....forgot what thread I was in.

I see people now who have no clue about setting up servos and throws mechanically. And repairing an airframe is a no-brainer if you know how to build one, but today if a wing is not available on the internet, in the right color, after a bad landing the plane is garbage.



Other people's garbage has many times been my next arf.

Ain't it the truth bro? Back in the day, "RE-BUILDING" was a pre-requisite to flying. LOL...

I'd have to say my favorite was one of my last slimers.....a model tech dragon lady 1.20 with a Saito 115 on 30% heli fuel. Super combo, fly scale or go up and hover either way.



Always thought that would make a super cool 100cc plane scaled up from the old kit built version.

Seeing as it's the only slimer I have owned for any length of time then it has to be my favorite. Wild Fred lamyak 40. Was flying it with a SuperTiger 45 on a pipe but I'm in the process of changing over to a OS 45AX which will also be on a pipe. Should be lots more power than the super tiger.

This Bridi UFO with a very old custom ported O.S.60, Mac's tuned pipe and Rhom Air retracts gets an honorable mention as my favorite. It was the last glow airplane I flew before switching to gas.

1. Goldberg Extra 300 with a saito 120. The saito sucked but the Extra flew fantastic.

2. Stinger 10 with magnum 25

3. Lanier 1/4 scale Laser with webra 120. I could do full power dives from as high as you could see and do a positive snap at the bottom. (to this day my dad and I are not sure how it stayed together so long)

The Kaos was my all time favorite for sure, but mainly due to the pattern category... I think I had some of the most fun back in the late 80's with my Cap 21's and Super Chipmunks though!





Beautiful UFO Jetpainter! Think I said that before somewhere though..

He still has her but not quite as much hair.

I remember the first time I ever saw a 60 sized pattern plane. At the time was yanking the heck out of a Super Sporster. That plane just loved to turn and I always obliged with the sticks. I was in absolute awe at an extremely talented pattern pilot flying a Dirty Birdy with perfectly straight lines and graceful turns.

As for my slimers I have had a bunch of the ones named Kaos, Flip 3D, eaglet 50, falcon 56, Sig Kougar, and the list goes on. Have not met a plane I really did not like.
