Randy's Event

Randy Randolph was a long time icon in model aviation with hundreds of articles and aircraft designs published. Our dear friend passed away April 8, 2005 and we want to honor his memory by gathering a ‘whole bunch’ of his planes for the fly-in. 

Dig through the plans listed below and the links to back issues of Model Airplane News, Flying Models, Model Aviation, and R/C Modler and find a favorite design to bring to DEAF 19 this October..
