Global Pattern

[Adam Glatt]

I believe the man with the big scale plane, who is also in about 3/4 of 
the pictures, is Naruke of Japan (former WC).  Looks like he was there 
to put on some demo flights, show off Futaba's latest wares, and add 
star power to the event.

You can find information on the diesel by searching rcuniverse in the 
pattern forum.  As I recall, the company that made it (Oxai?) also put 
out a second, very similar model designed for electric with a name more 
electric-oriented.  The diesel is the glow version.
