Lanzo
Record Breaker is being prepared to 'commit aviation' at the SAM 27 Crash
& Bash held
|
The
Record Breaker 'slips the surly bonds of earth with gusto. This is
a great design for newcomers to R/C . Eight foot wing with a proven airfoil
and a stable design that builds light and floats through the air giving
new pilots time to make the right decision and the ability to see it clearly!

Don
Bekins, past President of SAM 27 and of the national SAM orgaization,
fits the wing to his Zaic 2X Thermic 50 Old time glider in the shady pit
area at the "Ranch"

Our
host, Loren Schmidt of SAM 30 Adjusts the needle and timer on his sparker
in preparation for a flight. Loren is a retired aviation mechanic who
retores and repairs full-sized airplanes but models are his passion.

Famous
Oregon land baron, Tom Empey, shows his 1/2A Scale Endurance model. Tom
and lovely wife Patty had an adventurous journey south to Elk Grove for
the Crash & Bash in their motor home. Tom and Patty retired last year
and sold their home in Los Angeles, packed their belkongings in a container
and had it shipped to Oregon while they searched for a property to buy.
This confident, gutsy move was rewarded with a wonderful, affordable property
that exactly fit their dreams! See, good things DO happen to good
people!
