Saturday evening free flight. If you have never experienced this it is difficult to understand the atmosphere. Anything up to a hundred models being flown. This model is at least fifteen years old and only flown at the Nats. Made from the original plan of a Hobbies Champion bought in 1957 and fitted with an original ED Bee, (click for photo. Not the original as this one was bought off e-bay last year).
A couple of years later after a successful flight this model was stolen before it could be retrieved. It was replaced by an identical model which is still flyable today. 2022.
