Shive Specialties' Daeeaine Sportster

摘要

The Dallaire Sportster was designed in 1935 by Frank Dallaire for the Stix Baer National Contest held in St. Louis, Missouri. Frank flew his design to second place in open age gas in the Rise Off Ground (ROG) category. Since 1935 the Dallaire Sportster has won countless contests and titles. Back then the Dallaire Sportster came in a four-foot paper bag which held all the wood necessary to build a 108-inch freeflight model. Today, your model comes in a sturdy box with all the necessary wood, a full-size plan sheet, and an eight-page set of instructions. The Dallaire Sportster is not a beginner's model but, if the modeler is into building, this can be a great learning experience. After all, those of us who started modeling before Almost Ready to Fly (ARF) had to build our own planes.
