Art Shelton (Rcart) - Shelbyville, Indiana. -USA
"I am fascinated with flight. Two and
three wings are way better than one. My favorites are S-1 Pitts, Laser 200
(I know it only has one wing, but if flown hard and fast the wing blurs
and sometimes looks like 2 or 3), and anything from World War 1,
especially the Sopwith Pup." AMA#

is primitive yet the shapes are complex."

Mike Bealmear (Lucky Dog! ) - Columbus, Indiana - USA
"If it has wings and a propeller, it's
been a love and fascination for me for as long as I can remember. I
was a scale plastic (mostly WW2) nut as a kid, and Scale R/C is something
I've wanted to do since getting in the hobby. WW1 and vintage "Wings
with Wires" have a certain "romance" to them and has
snagged me. Besides, you don't have to screw with retracts<g>."

Gerald Rudisail (Dr1 Driver) - Monroe, North Carolina
- USA
"I enjoy the majesty and personality these
old cloth/wood planes have. They all look different and they all
have unique flying characteristics. These planes require more
construction than many modern planes, but can be easily detailed to look
very realistic. Also, I very much admire and respect the courage,
pride, and even arrogance the pilots of these planes exhibited."

Dan Grondin - Okeechobee, FL - USA
" I really enjoy flying
these old birds.. They are slower and majestic and bring to mind the
trials and difficulties that the early pilots had just keeping them
in the air -- not to mention trying to use them for a purpose..
My first love in planes was a SPAD -- someday I'm going to build one,
and fly it. I think they look and sound so cool-
especially with a gas engine."
