You can blame Ellis for all the pictures. This is a more-or-less chronological list of most of the pattern planes from my former life. I'm unsure on some of the dates, but they are close enough for the girls I go with. Enjoy.

Jim

1979 - AirFlair UnderDog (piped OS 40 FSR) 
1980 - Bridi Dirty Birdy (muffled Super Tigre X-61 Bluehead & Fixed Gear)

1981 - Tipo 750 (OS 61 FSR)


1983  - Bridi Deception (OS 61VF) 

1983 or '84 - Bridi Escape (OS 61VF) - it was very short lived!


1985 - Repainted Dirty Birdy (piped Super Tigre S-61 and retracts added) & EU-1A (OS 61FSR)

1986 - Tipo 750 (OS 61VF) - Dig that long pointy 2" Fox spinner!!

1987 - Bridi Escape (OS 61VF) - that's me on the left. I flew this plane in Advanced at the 1987 AMA Nats.

1990 - LA-1 (YS 61 Long Stroke/OS 61RF-P)

1998 - Storm EX (YS 120 AC)

1999 - Prophecy (YS 120 AC) - no picture prior to it's untimely demise! :-(

1998-2000 - OMS (Bully 120 LS)

OOPS!! The engine in this bird was actually my first OS 61RF-P (note the LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG header) and the date should be 1999-ish.
