Thomas R. DeSmidt (9740 S. Crosspointe Dr., Highland Ranch, CO 80130; E-mail: tdesmidt@attbi.com) sent this photo of his first kit-built airplane, a Great Planes Super Sportster 60. It is covered with UltraCote and is powered by an O.S. .61 FX engine.

Thomas wrote, “I modified the ailerons to be driven by separate servos so I can have flaperons. The maiden flight was perfect, and it needed very little trim.”

The radio gear is by Futaba.
