1 White suit was the result of some ‘gentle persuasion’ on the part of RCM&E for the first plan publication of a Loaded dice. 1992 |
2 First prototype of the loaded dice IIs, a stretched version used to achieve my last Nationals F3A win. 1994. Three in a row, was time to quit! Another type of aerobatics was beckoning. |

Typical of the cockpit finish on Terry's models. Superb Finish and flaring of the canopy into the balsa fuselage. Even the Aresti schedule on the dash. Fantastic!! |
