REMEMBERING DAVE REES
B-36 PEACEMAKER (CD003) August 1996
With electric motors just starting to impact the hobby, Dave caused a slight sensation when he unveiled his magnificent 57-inch freeflight version of the gigantic SAC bomber. His model used six small electric motors. $15.00
www.carstensbookstore.com/b36peacemaker.html TALON STUNTER (CF329) April 1974
Following his penchant for scale, Dave created this 52-inch semi- scale Stunter for a good .35 size engine. And it joined the early ranks of foam-core wing models. $11.00

COLIBRI MB-2 (CF808) July 1989
There's a bonus with this 26-inch span freeflight model of the Swiss homebuilt. Dave built two of them, one for electric and one for rubber power. Each version is shown on the plans. $10.00
www.carstensbookstore.com/colibrimb2.html ROLAND WALFISCH (CF677) October 1984
Almost 27-inch span, Dave's model of the WWI fighter offers several advantages for freeflight rubber scale: no rigging wire, no cabanes, long nose moment, and simple interplane strut, not to mention the unique fish scale camouflage. $10.00

SAAB 29B TUNNAN (CD020) March 1997
With today's efficient ducted fan power setups and lightweight Li-Po batteries, Dave's "biggish" (36-inch span) model of the early Swedish fighter is an even better candidate for a freeflight scale model. And even R/C! $11.00

A-10 WARTHOG (CF920) November 1993
Always a pioneer, Dave created his Warthog way back in 1993, using two of the first small workable fan systems available then. The model spans 29 inches and has perfectly scale outlines. $10.00
