       Harold Zimmerman built this tremendous Tiger Moth Biplane.  Harold added all kinds of detail to the plane including working doors with hinges, instruments with glass crystals, gas gauge on the fuel tank, air speed indicator on the wing strut, hubcaps with the logo on them and you could go on and on with all the modifications.

 

       We have such talented builders in our club.  Last month it was Ed Splittgerber with his beautiful HU-16e Albatross and this month it's Harold.  Click here to see Ed's Albatross

 

       Harold's plane is a Proctor kit with an 88 inch wing and 50cc engine.

The Cobras R/C Club is made up of a friendly and helpful group of people. We have a large grass field that is well maintained and is large enough to take off and land either North/South or East/West. Not only that but there is nothing to run into when you are flying. It’s all level open ground. We have a map to the field so that you will be able to find your way. The Cobras Field is on the west side of I-29 South of the Bellevue exit. All but the last couple of miles or so are hard surface roads. We also have posted on the Field the emergency number to give to the 911 operator so that the emergency unit can quickly find the Field. That number is 54802. It could be very important if someone had a heart attack or other serious problem. The SWIFT Glider club members are also members of the Cobras club and there membership has added to the size of the club which has helped to bring in enough money to pay the cost for rent and upkeep of the field. President Larry Puls cooks great Brats and other goodies for many of the Fun Flys etc. so be sure to come out to the Field and enjoy the food, flying and camaraderie. If you would like to show everyone your newest creation, that took so much work to build, then bring it to the Cobras Meeting for show and tell. The meetings are the first Wednesday of the month. In January we combine the meeting with dinner at the Holliday Party.  If you wish to join the Cobras download an application form.
