The 'early years'

The models I built (and finished) from age 15 to 22 ...

'Amateur'
My very first model. She never flew. Either she would have fallen apart mid-air, or the engine would have taken off without her. It didn't matter though... she made numerous flights in my imagination.

'Snoopy'
The 'Snoopy' came as a bonus to a second-hand 6,5 ccm two-stroke I bought. While finishing her, I discovered she was glued together with construction kit. She was solid as a tank and flew likewise. She barely made the runway. Not suitable for a beginner.

'Forster'
With the 'Forster' I finally made it to the league of rc-pilots. I was so thrilled, I forgot to take her picture.

'Lazy Ace'
My first bipe. Two meters span and powered by a 20 ccm four-stroke which was way too much power. Even with the engine running idle, it was hard to get her down.
