Any famous people involved in rc flying?
I remember reading an article in Newsweek in probably about 1986 about Tom Scholtz of "Boston" and it reported that even though he is a very successful muscian and an engineer, he was very much into his RC plane. The article talked about how fast it would go--very fast. Reading about this is definitely one of the things that gave me the impetus to get into RC since I too am a fan of the "Boston" band and love airplanes. Does he still RC? Don't know. Also heard a rumor that Frank Borman, one of the top full scale pilots, also flew an RC plane, or at least he tried to. As the story goes, he very soon realized that his flying skills did not help him much in trying to fly an RC plane as he saw the plane go out of control after a very short time on the sticks--no surprise there. An RC pilot saved the plane so all ended well.
