Francis and his Stinger

Not much left to work with

Rich's " Big Ugly",  to be used as a candy bomber 

The bay under the wing for candy with trap door

Lost elevator control on first flight

Hit tee-post, otherwise damage would have been minor  

Two weeks later, all repaired, need red covering under the wing .  

Big Ugly with the little Combater,  ready for the next air show as the Candy Bomber

Charlie's "Big Bertha", Tow Plane/Engine Test Bed.  

Those who saw it, said the wing exploded from the airplane. The fuse went in like a dart! 

 He had already broke in one engine and this was a new one.  He was going to use both on a big twin engine plane.

That is a brand new Fiji, with 5 minutes running time, buried in the dirt.  He had to work at it just to pull it out of the dirt.

The throttle stuck open & loss of elevator  lead to this crash, little Francis could do but point it to a safe area

 Glancing impact saved sever damage to the airplane, he will make the repairs and it'll fly again. 

Doug McClain's StarFire  better known as Woody

Looks like at least Woody will flying again.  Minor repairs

Not really Dumb Thumbs, hit a rut in the field made by the farmer checking the electric fence

Pushing the envelope
