GHOST SQUADRON

Ghost

Model designed & built by Don McWalter
(Mac. to us).

The idea came about as we regularly fly at shows with the 'Ghost Squadron' display team, and it was thought it would be good to take the p   mickey out of them.

So Mac got to work and produced four individual ghosts (from paper covered foam, of course) and linked them together with aluminium tubes.

Mount an engine (a '90' size) on the front, aileron servos in the rear outer ghosts, with elevator on the centre one (see picture at right) - & give it a go.

On the first flight (after several attempts to take off), the turning circle was so large it nearly flew out of our flying site boundary (& our site is BIG !)
Further tweaking finally sorted it out, but not in time for the 1999 show season - Maybe in 2000.
