Joe Hartley and I had the
opportunity to make the trip to Lexington Ky to watch this giant scale fly
inn. The two planes we are working on, the Sig 1/3 scale Spacewalker
and the Balsa Usa Citabria were not finished in time to fly so we will have to
wait until next year to do some flying. Thanks to the hospitality of Joe's
brother Cliff and sister in law Judy we had first class accommodations. When you
are around great people you realize that the planes are secondary.
Cliff Hartley should have a World War One bird ready by next year and if the
Spacewalker and Citabria hold up that long all three of us should make a showing
in 2002.
The fly inn was well organized and
the site is fast becoming one of the best in the area if not the best. The
site also has a first class paved area to fly control line aircraft. I
believe that Lew McFarland and EX-Cell hobbies might have had some presence in
this area.
Below are some of the aircraft
that were present at the Bluegrass Festival Of Giants. I wasn't able to
get all of the information on who built what so this page is by no means
complete of all of the action and people present.
