"Quacker Flight Cleared for low pass. Call leaving the landing pattern" Always something new at SAM 27's Flying site on TOFFF Day! |
Don Bekins flies his venerable "Hermes Hayseed" powered by a McCoy 60 Series 20 ignition motor in Class C Ignition events and brings it to the Lakeville Road flying site to practice and get the kinks out of the plane before taking it to a contest. The Hayseed flat "...gets after it" when flown by Don and powerd by a McCoy silver case engine! |
Plenty of Electric Models present at TOFFF. Many flown by studwent pilots. | |
