JETCO Imperials
I couldn't resist posting the old and the new.
The first is Jack Hiner launching a JETCO Imperial by Don Ellis. Don and Jack were early members of the S.O.A.R. Club in the Chicago Metro area.
Don and Jack are dressed for those brisk midwest conditions. Here's Jack's comment "Reminds me of a SOAR member Don Eliss (spelling) a WW II vet who stretched The Imperial from 100 to 120-inch span. A great flyer with me launching for Don in this photo in the 1970s. A cold Winter day. Don with hat and gloves. Much younger me no hat or gloves."
ASA Club member Tom Tichy acquired this Imperial and modified it for electric power.
Club member Bob Galler notes " Tom Tichy restored and added electric power to this 1959 Jetco RC 100 and flew it today. Flew fine."
