A B IR D IN THE HAND. . .


www.carstensbookstore.com/birdspecial.html HYBIRD (CF128) July 1968 www.carstensbookstore.com/hybird.html


Bob Adair’s Gas competition freeflight could easily be de- cribed as a “hybrid”. It borrows a little bit of this and that to yield a very compettive model for .15–.25 engines. $11.00


B.I.R.D. SPECIAL (CF050) October 1965


Is it or isn’t it... a real aircraft? Nope, this bird is a 4-channel R/C ship that Dallas Moran wanted to look like a scale model of a real plane. Uses a .60 size glow. $18.00


www.carstensbookstore.com/whirlbird.html L-19 BIRD DOG (CD408) December 2010 www.carstensbookstore.com/l19birddog.html


From Korea on this plane still flies the skies like a bird. Pat Tritle paid homage to it with a neat 26-inch span freeflight model of the plane that will fly right off the building board. $11.00


WHIRL BIRD (CF027) August 1965


Without a doubt this freeflight bird will be the talk of the field as a really neat plane. Lee Taylor created it for the venerable Cox .049 as a “new dimension” in models. $10.00


YARD BIRD (CF572) August 1981


www.carstensbookstore.com/yardbird.html


How did this bird get its name? Easy. Mark Romanowitz designed his C/L profile model as part of a recreation program for inmates! Spans 36 inches and uses a good .20 glow. $10.00


CHARLES MACKEY’S SNOWBIRD (CD298) December 2006 www.carstensbookstore.com/chmasn.html


For years this C/L Stunter went unpublished until Ian W. Smith col- laborated with the designer to share its special qualities with the C/L crowd. Uses a good .32 glow and spans 57 inches. $15.00


These models may not soar with the eagles but they certainly elevate the fun. FOR ORDERING INFORMATION SEE PAGE 65
