RE: slow combat trophy winners 1972 salem NH
I flew at a few events in NJ in 71-72, one was a large national at an airport in North Central Jersy --Manually Fix-- Jersey Jessy Jeers Jes Jessey Jess Jews Josy Jars Jerry Jerky , the other wasn't quite so big and it was in Berkeley Heights. What memories I have of destroyed balsa and a trophy or two from local events also. I wold love to meet John Cafaro --Manually Fix-- Ca faro Ca-faro Carfare Caro Faro Afro Safari Cairo Canary Cara Jivaro Covary Cari Cafe Carfares CFO Cahra Fro Afr Capra Carri Caviar Capri Clari Gavra Afar Cadre Cafes Jr. I'm a huge corvette fan and an overall Chevrolet Muscle Nut, and encyclopedia.
I decided it's more fun and my body decided I was right, there's just too much fun to be had on 4 wheels in R/C.
Don't get me wrong pilots, I remember a scale B-29 about 6ft wide with 4 .19s running and I just loved his whole presentation, I'll never forget that airplane, and I built a few myself so I'm still a fan, just hated the broken parts, that's all.
