94 TOC Chip Hyde Freestyle

[@basimpsn]

Back in 1994....that's some serious flying

[@briand4000]

I was there and really enjoyed it! They were great events, but when Mr. Bennet (I think that was his name) passed on, the event passed with him. Long live the TOC and the great innovations to R/C that came from it.

No Gyros, No 2.4ghz, No Lipo, no Super servos.... Old school =)

[@llamont2336]

Back when modelers built their planes and actually flew them too...

[@CNCHobby38]

And functionally

[@travisrussell7750]

This was at least two generations prior to any of that stuff.

[@oliversoto]

Ahhh... The good ole TOC.

[@ravebrave8866]

which engine used in this biplane...

[@CNCHobby38]

3W Engine? Size?

[@oscarocque1336]

DA 200

[@ravebrave8866]

@@oscarocque1336 chidi that time 200cc was not there.. neither was DA there

[@laor100]

He was probably using the 3w 140cc

[@philwarracks]

In ‘96 (Toc) he showed up with a 3w 4cyl in the bipe. He rolled up in a rented van on Friday afternoon and had a flight, for which I understand he was dq’ed for the event lol. There was only a few people there and it was my first exposure to giant scale aerobatics.

By todays standard the model looks underpowered which in turn indicates just how good a pilot Chip Hyde is

Truth be told, this motor was not running well, it was running hot and lean but Chip made it work.
