David Dellis (18 Boxwood Ln., Rome GA 30165; E-mail: ddellis250@aol.com) built this Carl Goldberg Products Tiger 60 Deluxe with Robart retracts. It took him approximately three months to complete.

The model is covered with MonoKote in the Air Force Thunderbird scheme. An O.S. .61 SF engine powers the model and it is fitted with a 12 x 6 propeller. The 70-inch wingspan model weighs slightly less than eight pounds.

David wrote, “The airplane flies like a Pattern model and lands like a trainer. I was pleased how much the performance improved when the wheels were retracted.” A Futaba 6XAS radio system was used.
