<div style="font-family:arial;color:black;font-size:10pt;"> HELLO JAY: THE BEST RECALL I HAVE FOR THE PLANE IS A KWIK-FLI 4 THAT NEVER REALLY MADE THE FLI SERIES I WAS APPOINTED A WARRANTY SERVICE STATION AND HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO A LOT OF THE STAFF . MARTY BARRY WAS BUILDING FOR KRAFT AND IN EARLY TALKS WITH HIM THAT FUSE WAS A SOLID BLOCK AND WAS HOLLOWED OUT. PHIL AND TONY (BONETTI) CAME TO THE ORANGE MASSACHUSETTS CONTEST IN 1972 AND PHIL HAD THE SAME AIRPLANE....IT WEIGHED 8 1/4 LBS. IT NEVER GOT ANY MORE ATTENTION. THAT YEAR PHIL, AND TONY, AND ERNIE HUBER BATTLED IT OUT. THAT YEAR EXPERT HAD THE 4-LEAF CLOVER.....WOW LOOK OUT FOR THAT LAST SEGMENT!!.....HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR<br>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:">I just made time to watch the vid about the '71 WC! What an era that was. Jon commented about flying those planes -- well, we fly just those planes in the Senior Pattern Association. Despite the bad image we have among you NSRCA guys, we are now enforcing the to-plan building of our planes, and only allow 4-stroke engines and computer radios for convenience and as a nod to "progress". I'm not advertising for SPA, just sayin'...</span></div>

<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:">My comment earlier was those guys didn't have computer mixing to trim their planes with (when someone commented on Strt Inv. Flight as a maneuver). I still have a Kraft 6-channel '83 Series radio with synthesized channel selection that has been narrow-banded (by KMI) , so I <u>could</u> use it -- but I won't. ;-{) It uses the 3-lead battery pack, so I'd have to build a new pack for it before I could fly it. Anyway, first 60-degree day (next Monday, here in TN) I plan to go out and pretend to be Ron or Jim. lol</span></div>

I went to that WC with my Dad as a spectator. Amazing to see Jim Whitley, Phil Kraft, and Ron Chidgey at their prime. I remember Doc Edwards, Team Manager, as a super nice guy.<br>
The thing I remember most from that WC in those days of ballistic pattern was that the Europeans had taken to throttling back on the downline of loops, etc. Not many people were doing that at the time. Most Americans kept full bore all the way around.<br>
As to the simplicity of the sequence, try flying a plane of that period. Limited power, fairly high wing loadings, and fairly short coupled tails made them a handful.<br>
I noticed also that virtually none of the radio equipment manufacturers that I saw in the film are around today. Kinda sad.<br>
Amazing film.</span></div>
