Goldberg Skylark 56 ARF Removed from My RC Livery
I used to fly a Skylark 56 back in the early 80's. It was built from the kit and was all black with an HB 50 for power. Unfortunately, I destroyed this beautiful bird while doing a reverse Cuban 8 aerobatic maneuver. The crash was quite spectacular. The airplane hit nose first on the paved runway at the Utah Modelport and literally exploded! The airplane was a total loss. The engine and radio were heavily damaged too. |

Here is a list of just a few of the radio controlled airplanes I have built:

Don Piatt of Dumas, Texas taught me to fly. There is no telling how many people he has taught to fly RC airplanes over the years! Unfortunately, he isn't able to fly any longer. He deserves some kind of recognition for all he has done for the RC sport in the last 30 years. He and I used to drive all over the Texas panhandle to fly our planes. Thanks Don and God bless you BIG!!! Photos From My Past I started building flying models when I was a young teenager. The following photographs were taken somewhere between 1974 to 1977. The Sig Kougar in the photographs was my first of three that I have built and flown. They are excellent airplanes. In fact, this Sig Kougar is the old version. The one that is available now and has been available for a number of years is the Sig Kougar Mark II. With all of the ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) models currently available, building is a lost art, one that I still love! |

The red airplane is a 1/2A combat
control line airplane |
This was a foam Midwest Super
Chipmunk |
The Chipmunk had a Fox .19 that
I never could start, no starter in those days |
This was one of my homebuilt
1/2A designs. I actually flew it several times. These photos were
taken around 1975 |
