Wesley M. Dick was on an airplane watching the wing flaps move when he wondered how the bidirectional flaps could be incorporated into a Control Line Aerobatics model aircraft.\u00a0 After developing the idea, Wesley had a working system of bidirectional double-slotted blown flaps that he incorporated into a model he named the Velvet 3.<\/p>\n

Flying the Velvet 3, Wesley placed well in various 2014 and 2015 competitions and the flaps have been adopted by other modelers.\u00a0 On Sunday, July 17, 2016, Wesley, his family, and a large group of CL Precision Aerobatic modelers visited the museum to donate the Velvet 3.<\/p>\n
