Crowd for UAV

Andrew Fernie — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 22:20:20 -0500

Description: Michael Levy with his scratch built Panther. Andre Germain in the background. Andre and Michael built any number of interesting planes over the years - normally modelled of jets. At one point Andre had an F-14 with operational swing wings.

Big Ultimate

Andrew Fernie — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 22:18:20 -0500

My Spitfire

CAP-21

Andrew Fernie — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 22:18:18 -0500

by: Andrew Fernie

Description: My fourth plane. A CAP-21 with an OS 1.20 four stroke. CAPs had a reputation for tip stalls. This one lived up to its reputation.

Goldberg Chipmunk

Andrew Fernie — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 22:18:18 -0500

by: Andrew Fernie

Description: My third plane - after the Kavalier - roughly 1987 or 1988. I had an OS 61 in it at the time (now in the Spitfire). Eventually put in a 91 four stroke and it really got moving. Finally grew tired of it and added retracts and put two .46 on the wing to make it a twin. Wing loading became a bit high, eventally crashed - 2004?.
