The Wentzel-meeting 1996
The Wentzel meeting is a competition for some of the designs sold by
Wentzels, one of the oldest hobby shops in Stockholm. It is usually held the
first Sunday in June, in the afternoon/evening to avoid the worst winds.
This year it was indeed almost indoor weather, and
George Törnkvist could fly his tiny (pistachio
size) all balsa Saab J21 Nocal without problems.
Returning to the competition, the designs were divided into four classes.
The Tummeliten is an all balsa rubber powered stick tractor,
the other models are all rubber powered fuselage designs. Particulary
attractive is the Fröjd, with its triangular fuselage and artistically
shaped tail surfaces.
The Tummeliten class was won by no other
than Sigurd Isacsson (of Sunnanvind fame) who is still active on the vintage
scene.
Kalle Quarfordts Cirrus, third in its class
Tomas Hultgren with Fröjd, winner in its class
