Next Northwest CL event: Western Canada Stunt Championships See Where the Action Is
Paul Gibeault of Leduc, Alberta, a regular attendee at the Northwest Control-Line Regionals, set along this photo of two recent sport-flying projects, with this explanation: "With no speed/race competitions this year, my building has turned to older 'vintage' kit building. Here are two that I've just finished for my wife, Dianne, to train on. I used a 'new' fast method of covering. It's Polyspan (undoped in the bays) covered by Phil Cartier's SLC mylar. Seems really light, really tough, and really quick to do since there's no filling, priming, or sanding required, plus it is 1.4 oz. weight per square meter. Engines are O.S. 25LA's." Paul Gibeault photo.
