Cat in needlepoint; Actual size=180 pixels wide

This is my Byron Bullet, ducted fan, is my first ducted fan aircraft, pretty fast, with the new OS.91 it will take off in less that 200' of grass! With the OS.77 I got it with it would not think about it in grass. Looks good on the ground but hard to see in the air, not enough colors.

This is my Goldberg chipmunk, got it framed up and I finished it and covered it. Its very overpowered by a ST.90 with a pitts smoke muffler, is really fun to fly and looks great in the air, perfect combination I think.

Here is my Direct Connection F-20 propjet, awesome flying plane, would recommend it to anyone that can handle a higher performance aircraft. Mine has a YS.45 side exhaust with a tuned pipe and spring air retracs, lands very well and is very predictable. I traded for it so I didnt pick the colors.

Here is my new Jetcat P80 tubine, 17+ pounds of thrust at around 118,000rpm, amazing, and better yet its all auto start from the remote! Cant wait to get the plane and fly it!

Here is all the electrical stuff to run that turbine, Lots to stuff into a fuselage!

Here is my XCell60, bought it new and built it, has a new OS61WC with a Hatori pipe and a CSM360 HH gyro. Looks and sounds great in the air. It is sold now.

Here is my Mustang, I made it look like a '85 but its actually a '83. It presently has a 550hp small block 351W and a Frank Lupo custom built race trans with a trans brake. Stock 8.8" rear with 4.10 gears, on the motor it runs 11.14@124 spinning the RR tire off the line because the stock posi is shot. With the new spool it will run in the upper 10's for sure. I may bolt the NOS on it for one 9 second blast just to see what is there.

Here is a pic I took of JohnB's late P51 on landing, turned out pretty good!

This is the woodsplitter I built, has a new Honda 5.5hp on it and splits wood like there is no tomorrow.

Here is my ThunderTiger Raptor, my favorite heli at this time, Learned/Learning 3D on this one. Has a GV1 govenor and a GY501 HH gyro. With the Stock TT.36 and a weston.

My new Giant 84" wingspan Lanier Stinger. Powered by a Zenoah G62 hovering is NOT a problem. about 20lbs RTF. Installed a TME smoke system, Lots of fun!
My new favorite!

Here is my Diamond Dust, only has a OS.46 on it but it really screams, need a Jett50 to get up to 200mph! Very inexpensive and fun.

Here is my Sig Somethin' Extra, a good very fast building fun flying plane, mine has a TT.46 in it and really needs more power, thinking a .53 size to make it have better out of hover pull. But is extremely slow to land which makes it fun to play with, yet can take off in 10-20'

This is my ARF Twinstar that I got from my friend Mike Bogh. Has two cheap OS40LA's that really power it great, perfect combo as has enough power on one engine to climb out very well. This is a great first twin, easy to fly and sounds awesome with both engines roaring at full throttle! Always gets looks at the field on flyby's

Here is a little F-18 pusher I have, its a MAN plans scratch built one, I bought this one and need to finnish it and fly it, its made for a .25+ but its getting a .40! Its a nice small take it in the back seat size.

Here is a pic of the race seats, 5pt. harness, and 8pt roll bar. Not as nice to get in and out of but its well worth it when you mash the gas!

Here is a friends GP F14 on a full throttle 114mph flyby, I like to take pics at the field.

Here is my new TGA Topcat. My first and probably only turbine plane. About 77" long and 66" WS. Will not be short on power with the jetcat. Will have a page just on this one.

Here is my profile jem, a Morris Topcap ARF. with a new Saito .72 swinging a 13x4W prop, it hovers at under half throttle and even I can flat spin it!! Very fun!!
