It's all about style...

| Rich Minnick readies the Diamond Demon -- his favorite style -- THE POT BELLY. You can see the diamond section in the rear fuselage. The undersides of the wings are actually white with black tips. Very visible in the sky. | Beautiful, transparent, the most popular Old Timer style. Some of these coverings are just as good as Samspan, and easier to repair. |

| With loving care... You can tell how Rich feels about his plane. | Rich, with both feet on the runway, prepares for takeoff, ignoring the Pavlovian barking from Bob Rose. |

| Frank waits for signal from Rich Coleman. Ready to launch in perfect style. Andrew Tickle photo | A moment later - actually the camera sometimes waits a while before it fires. Rich's Airborn is almost out of the picture when it eventually fires. But it is a a launch with perfect style! Andrew Tickle photo |

| This SE5a is rolling, tail high.....This e-ARF is one of the best flying WW1 planes. But this great model really does deserve a pilot figure for full style points. Mike Sidwell photo | Jay (as yet unbitten) is
