Mr. Bill Osborne designed the Platter as a first time gas-powered control-line model airplane for kids that is crash-proof. Bill Osborne founded one of the oldest control-line model fields in Alameda, known as the Bill Osborne Model Airplane Field. This dedicated site is even named on a AAA map.

My name is Heman Lee. I met Bill Osborne in 1997 and was amazed in his efforts to mentor the next generation in this great hobby. This web site is dedicated to Bill Osborne, who founded the Bill Osborne Model Airplane Flying Field in Alameda, Bill designed this model as a trainer for his youth modeling program. He has allowed me to share this Platter design with all of you on the Internet.  I would appreciate any Platter stories and picture you have. Please Email or send them to me so I can share them with others on the internet.
Bill passes away in 2003 and I hope to honor his legacy with this web page.

Beta Testing for 2012

I am working on a new Community Contest Calendar that will eventually be maintained by all of the CD's in the Northern California area. CD's who wish to partcipate in this should contact me. CD's will be given special access via user name and password to login to an easy to use maintanance program. No programming is required, just fill out the event forms, enter date, time, category and even pick color to display in the calendar. I still have to work out a few bugs and security login issues before it can be rolled out to all of the CD's. First phase of the calendar will only be maintained by myself until a secure login is fully implemented.
