SIG Banshee & Akromaster
Midwest Biplane
SIG Banshee - This is my primary flier, one of the best control-line (C/L) aircraft ever
designed, even after almost 30 years.  This plane has been through the mill, dozens of crashes
(mostly minor, like landing up-side-down on occasion) and always comes back for more.
SIG Banshee - Another of my Banshee's.  This one is balanced perfectly and can almost
rotate on its wing-spar.  This plane is so good it has never crashed (is now 19 years old).

Fabulous aircraft!

NOTE: This plane was retired - forcefully - on Sunday, 10 September 2000 when it finally came
in contact with the ground (at approx 55mph) at the bottom of an hourglass.  Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Midwest Bipe - This plane isn't half bad but it sure doesn't like aerobatics very much.  Still, it's a
lot of fun to fly with a 35-yr old Fox .19 mounted up front.
SIG Akromaster - This plane is not all that far from the Cosmic slightly smaller engine and wing
area.  This pic was taken just after the first flights.  Definitely a fun plane!
