[NSRCA-discussion] From Zel Ritchie RE: More Tx Springs

[Zel Ritchie]

Hi Dean,

I was hoping someone might identify with Jan Van Vliet!

If you ever communicate with him please send him to my site:
It would be nice to hear from him.

 http://Zel.rcuniverse.com<http://zel.rcuniverse.com/> 

I would also like to know if anyone else has any photos or films of Sweden Worlds.

Unfortunately the photos on my sight are the only photos I have left.

I don't know where to find a set of plans for the Phantom. I gave away all of my stuff, including plans and equipment. 

I think RC Modeler published the plans for the Phantom sometime in 1963-64-65 but I have not been able to locate them.

Phantom IV was an amazing plane. I could do things with it that I could never do with any other plane. It had a special airfoil that I designed for it which enabled it to fly inverted as well as upright. I could do the entire AMA pattern inverted as well as, or even better, than upright, (except for takeoff and landing!).

Keep in touch.

Zel

  Hi Zel,
  As I looked through the pictures in your RCU profile, I noticed the photog's credit to Jan Van Vliet.
  You'll be amused to note, that I stood with Jan and we critiqued the Finals in France together, this Summer.
  He is the one who coined the term "tricky rolls" to decribe the egregiously cheated Snap Rolls, the finalists were flying.
  His son Danny (now on the Dutch Team) is now in his mid thirties. 
  I can remember him as a young teenager, being surprised when he couldn't get a beer, during the '83 Worlds in Pensacola!
  What do you mean, minimum age to drink?

  So where does one find plans for a Phantom IV? It was fun looking at the shots. 

  Regards,
      Dean P.

        Next, can anyone explain why I can't see what Zel is replying to?  I never saw the post he is referring to.

          Bill,

          I just ran across your "More Tx Springs" post!

          It was real exciting seeing your name.

          Thanks for all the compliments!

          If you get this please contact me. I would really like to hear from you.

          Do you have any contact with any of the Old Gang?
