I'm a devotee of Free Flight, mostly rubber stick and tissue. There are other pages that deal with FAC scale and Competition. In this one I hope to explore the fringes.

I am bidden to put these pages up, because my old Twin Pusher pages died..
So here they are  ......

Twin Pusher Pages
All the Twin Pusher stuff is available. Click and enjoy.
 
 

 I have added Carl Goldberg"s account of the 1933 Nats. Probably the final year of Twin Pusher dominance

Jimmie Walker Ceiling Walkers

Vol I with link to mass launch

Vol II

Note: There is a separate introduction to all the Fantasy Flyers that should make looking at these a little easier. I included some links.
