My favorit Old Timer...The Beauty of the horrible looking "QUASIMODO"...

[Guga]

My favorit old Timer... is a Brazilian design By Omar Grasseti...An old timer aeromodeler friend of ours from São Paulo...
The "Quasimodo" that means... Notre Dame´s HunchBack in english...

It was originaly designed to fly with an Diesel engine... in the good old days...
It fly as gentle as the HunchBack was... Hands Off...
One can talk and maintain a full conversation while flying it... end even turn the head around to spit...with no problems of deviating it´s course or entering any unwanted maneuver...It can land in the pilots hand ... so slow it fly´s... there is no stall condition for it...
Here are some pics...

Coments for the Pics
LOOK AT THOSE SLEEK TIRES...
Now it is powered by a Xing Ling Brushless motor...
Previously I had a GWS EPS100 (280) motor powering it..
and before it used Diesel for power...long time ago...

Hi Guga, that's a neat little Old Timer you have! I Like the "airfoil" shaped fuselage...is the wing undercambered? Looks like it in the side view. Should fly great, as you say. In one of the photos there's a plane in the backround with an aluminum cowl. Is it a "Folkerts Special"?

Yes... the Wing is undercamber.
And the plane on the background... is a Fantasy plane inspired on a Comics from War times... "Saver Of Souls" Mordecai Murphy Dart...

From that originated a new design called the "Red Bullet" ...

Ah Yes! Oldtimers are the only models I fly nowadays. they fit very well to my age as an somewhat elder teenager at 82 years. I own two versons of Pkayboy "Senior" the pylon and the coupe variants, two Super Scorpions.one Astro Viking, one 1/2 A Puffin and an ARF Coronet 400. I will try to send some pictures later on, when I have located their URL
