These planes belonged to Steve....Frank's friend that left for the Air Force. He was an awesome flyer. I remember we used to look at him in awe when we were just getting our feet wet. The wrecked one belonged to his brother, who he was teaching to fly that day. I also recall he had a cool low wing T-34 that had a wing failure and crashed. He gave the remains to Guano man and he crudely rebuilt it. It barely flew because he reinforced it so much it was heavy a shit. It only flew once. Guano almost hit the Home Depot in the Miramar field after he lost control of the highly unstable rebuilt version. Guano man himself was learning about building and flying. I remember it was almost dark when he hit the Palm tree near Home Depot.
Remember the two little pilots that Benji would put in all his homebuilt planes? They came from that T-34. I think I have a photo of it somewhere. William I don't think you were a member of the club yet. This was very early on. Or maybe you were I can't recall.
