[NSRCA-discussion] WAY OFF TOPIC: comic relief

[Bob Richards]

There was the Runaround, and I think a Runaway also. The Runaround came in about three different wing configurations and two different stabs. Mine was the large wing and stab.
 
Not too long ago (this year) I saw a Runaround with a piped .60 still flying. That was a strange beast, had a tub through the centerline of the wing for the pipe to pass through, and lots of fiberglass reinforcement to carry the structure around the tube.
 
I really liked the Runaround for its simplicity.

Hey John,
 
I believe there was also a Runabout too.  Am I correct?  Those were the days.  LOL  I was able to fly almost every contest in the season back then.  Maybe someday soon I will get back to that much flying.  Have not flown a contest since the 2008 NATS and have only flown 10-20 flights total since then.  Been a LONG couple of years but things are finally shifting back for me.  
 
Paul

I wish the Runaround was still available!

Smithfield was always a good contest. The field is still there, but they can't hold events there any more. Long story......
 
I still have the Runaround, in pretty good shape. Retired it a LONG time ago. LOL.
