A spring morning at Elkins Field

This morning’s weather could not have been more beautiful, with a very light and shifting breeze that made everyone question which way the wind was coming from. I was pleased to get the long-awaited maiden flight on my “4-120 Bipe”, thanks to Harold, and I’m pleased to say the plane held true to the heritage of the whole ACE R/C series, kitted back in the 80s. The hit of the morning was Don Haines just-completed and gorgeous Sterling “Spitfire”, another kit from several decades ago. Don did a terrific job on the build, the covering, and the immaculate cockpit details. While it wasn’t quite ready to fly, it certainly was eye-candy for all who were there.
