David is a retired computer design engineer and has
been a scale aircraft enthusiast/designer for a few
decades. His relationships, associations and
adaptive technical research has made him a
humble but precise line judge at many Regional
Scale Meets.
For those of us in the R/C community privileged
to know and interact with him on a regular basis
have had more than a friend, flying companion
and personal project resource ... we've all
learned that his scale passion is infectious,
while coming to a much better understanding of
what "Scale Aircraft Modeling" really means!

Lavochkin La-7
Grumman American
Lynx
ARADO 96B
The
Lavochkin La-7 was a Soviet fighter aircraft of
World War II. It was a refined development and of the Lavochkin La-5, and the last
in a family of aircraft that had begun with the
LaGG-1 in 1938. Considered the last
"Grand Piano", it was evolutionary rather than
revolutionary. The two highest-scoring Soviet
aces flew the La-7, one of them; Ivan Kozhedub
was the top Allied ace of the war.
The
Grumman light aircraft line was acquired by
Gulfstream Aerospace in 1977 which formed their
light aircraft division, Gulfstream American.
After completing a major redesign of the AA-1B
the new AA-1C was born. Two versions were marketed,
differentiated by avionics and the external
trim. The Lynx was targeted at private owners
while the T-Cat was the flying school trainer.
Arado Ar 96 was a German single-engine, low-wing
monoplane of all-metal construction produced by
Arado Flugzeugwerke. It was the Luftwaffe's
standard advanced trainer during the Second
World War. For of you unfamiliar with this
aircraft, the Germans use it much like we used
our AT6/Harvard's. This is an extraordinary
scale subject that flies as well as it looks.
96.5" wingspan, 1704 sq. in., 3.7-4.8 cu. in.,
6 channel radio recommended, built-up balsa &
ply, five plan sheets.
The
Focke-Wulf Ta 152H, a World War II Luftwaffe
high-altitude interceptor fighter. The Ta 152H was a development of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 aircraft, but the prefix was
changed from "Fw" to "Ta" to recognize the
contributions of Kurt Tank who headed the design
team.
The TA 152H was the fastest
(480 MPH) propeller-driven aircraft to see
combat in WW2.
Pete's first race was at the 1930 National Air
Races in Chicago. Winning five of the first
seven races, Pete became one of the most
successful racers in any form of motor sport. If
you're a Thompson Trophy era aircraft fan you'll
love the way the Pete handles both in the air
and on the ground! The Howard Pete competed
against the Gee Bee, TravelAir Mysteryship,
Laird Turner etc.
