Dennis Adamisin and his Oly 99
Dennis Adamisn and his Olympic 99 on LOFT field, Ft. Wayne, Indiana, July 2000.

This is what Nostalgia is all about, Dennis got into R/C Sailplanes after the famous CHICAGO SOAR NATS had stopped, did the usual run through the newer sailplanes including expensive composites and now has a big smile when flying his beautiful OLYMPIC 99. Dennis says the older design wood sailplanes fit his style of flying, relaxing and definitely an opportunity to express his personal finishing touch. For many R/C Sailplane enthusiasts, the combination of building their own sailplane and then seeing it fly is twice the reward and satisfaction of just buying a look a like composit sailplane and flying it out of the box.
