No-Cal Gloster Meteor

摘要

I just had the pleasure of reading Chris Starleaf s article (July 2006 FM) on his Fairey Barracuda full-fuselage scale model, built for outdoor FAC WWII Mass Launch flying. I can only agree heartily with everything he says about competing in Mass Launch events. Consistency, consistency, consistency, is what my Dad taught me, and many design features of this model reflect that advice. It is also serendipitous that Chris's subject is the Barracuda, because my arch-rival in the indoor Mass Launches in Oklahoma City is also a Fairey Barracuda built and flown by none other than the illustrious Flying Models freeflight columnist, Larry Kruse.
