Here I am flying my Carl Goldberg Lil' Jumpin' Bean in the east
parking lot at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bardstown. The striped
lane I'm flying over leads to the walkway that goes straight to the
church steps. The plane is powered by a Cox Golden Bee. The paint
scheme is dark blue with the white stripes on the wings. This was
after I rebuilt it from its first crash. In this paint scheme I added
various decals proclaiming my membership in the Academy of Model
Aeronautics, which can be seen on the side of the fuselage. This
plane had an interesting "groove" point where it would fly
level with no control. If you held the control handle in neutral, it
would fly all day long at about 4 feet high. Winds might raise or
lower it, but it always returned to the groove and didn't wander. No
other plane I built and flew ever had such a distinctive "groove." |
