David Anderson from Minnesota has been modelling warbirds for a long time. Mr. Anderson has his plans available for download at the MN Big Birds web site. He also has a pdf book of rc stories "At The Field" available for download.
"David P. Andersen is a retired computer design engineer. He was born in 1940 in Minneapolis where he lives with his wife Rosemary. AMA license number 16331 was obtained in 1952 when he was flying free flight and U-control. He entered his first meet at that time, flying a Jasco Floater. A library book provided a circuit diagram from which he built his first radio (it didn’t work very well). His League of Silent Flight number is 182, the first in Minnesota. A mode one radio is preferred, a habit remaining from learning to fly on an Orbit superregen reed radio.
He has held the President and Vice President positions in the Twin City Radio Controllers and he is secretary and newsletter editor of the Scale Flyers of Minnesota which he co-founded. He also co-founded the Blue Eagles air show team.
His R/C model airplane designs have appeared in Model Aviation and R/C Modeler magazines. An active flyer, he participates in Scale Masters, NATS, Toledo Expo and other national competitions plus air shows, fly-ins and every local event he can attend.
Contest Director, Scale Masters Certified Judge, Top Gun Flight judge, and AMA Experimental Aircraft Inspector are some of his formal credentials.
Writing for national magazines started with the publication of his first construction article. Since then, he has written countless how-to’s, event reports, short stories, poems, editorials and construction articles. His designs have appeared on many magazine covers.
But all this is a mere byproduct of his love of building and flying and hanging out with his friends.
