I really enjoy receiving reports and photos from customers showing the models they have built from my kits.\u00a0 As I have said before, I try to provide products that can be successful and when I get a report like this, it shows me how modelers can exceed all of my expectations.<\/p>\n

Tom Norell lives in Colorado and I understand he has returned to modeling after a long absence.\u00a0 Reports have it that he is dominating at the FAC Eaglerock Squadron<\/a>‘s indoor contests.\u00a0 Recently, he purchased one of my Martin MO-1 Dime Scale kits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is the text he sent along with the photos:<\/p>\n

“It built up real nice and only needed two small adjustments to fly right off the board. A little downthrust and a small pea of clay on the nose.\u00a0 AUW came in at 6.9g without rubber, I think Don Deloach’s came in a little over 10g. I also created my own tissue files and am real pleased with the final product.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve flown it on three occasions so far. A few quick trim flights at our local gym (25′). The annual Pikes Peak Ceiling Climb (35′) where it came in second to David Aronstein (<\/em>another Free Flight legend!\u00a0 –geo.) by only a few seconds. And last weekend at the EAA Family Flight Fest<\/a> in Oshkosh (37′) where it was VICTORIOUS! It still needs a bit more work on rubber selection, but it’s not too far off. It’s a consistent 90+ seconds and I think it has about another 15-20 seconds more in it. It has one of your red (painted silver) 6″ Igra props on it and it is a perfect match with a 15″ loop of .065″ Super Sport.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve attached a few pictures of the finished product, feel free to use them as you wish, just give credit to Connor Madison<\/a>, the EAA staff photographer.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

6.9 grams and 90+ seconds on a loop of 0.065″ rubber?\u00a0 OUTSTANDING!\u00a0 And look at the detail on his printed tissue!<\/p>\n

So here are Connor Madison’s nice photos of Tom’s exquisite Martin MO-1 Dimer (click for large versions).\u00a0 Thanks, Tom!<\/p>\n
