Michael,

It was very good to see you, and nice job on the article. I hope you will be able to make Los Banos in 2010. If anyone needs more info on the Spalinger let me know.

I am especially interested in the plane in pictures #10 and #21.....any details?

Thank you,

Jim Blanchfield

#10, the white one?

It is the Nemere II from Air World. All molded 3.78m.

The Airworld Nemere is kind of a mix of models, the wings are Kirby Kite wings, I know since Rick Briggs brought in this model along with 2 Kirby Kite kits, the wings were all identical, Airworld took a lot of liberty calling it a Nemere, nice looking model but is sure did not exist like this in fullsize. Fred China up in Vancouver Canada built a beautiful 1/4 scale Nemere several years ago.

Thanks for pointing this out, Dennis. Brian's Airworld Nemere is a beautiful ship, but it is only notionally a Nemere.

BTW, Fred sold his Nemere to Steve Dentz, who is most awed by its scale accuracy and excellent flying characteristics. We may make a vintage junkie out of Steve yet!

s2000 · Nov 05, 2009, 12:08 PM

Fred is starting to sell some of his models! I need to get on that list, every one of his builds are spectacular!

bhchan · Nov 05, 2009, 12:09 PM

That's not my Nemere

, I have a Kirby Kite. The Nemere belongs to Walt Torgesen, he also has a Kirby Kite.

Dennis

Please let me clarify that I have not sold any of my gliders. (yet)

Over the years a couple of fellows have gone out of their way to assist me in inumerable ways at aerotows and other things. As I am an old buggar who doesn't get around as well as I would like, these two fellows have helped me a tremendous amount. I felt that I owed them something in return and offered them each a glider as a thank you.
I hope they enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed their help.

s2000 · Nov 05, 2009, 05:32 PM

I already have 2 dibs on the 13, and now 3, but those dibs are really costly!
