Brian, time flies. Hard to believe your two small sons that we met back in Dec 2007 are now young men!
Even then they were enthusiasts. Well done!

Name was Calvin Sigmon, has since passed. Was paralized and in a wheel chair. Model field was adjacent to a corn field. Was a real nice field.

Get lots of practice laps in with your best equipment several weeks in advance or else those buzzards will have you for lunch.

Rog, glad to hear you are back in the game and willing to organize those great days of 1/2A adventure, suspense, drama, the thrill of victory, agony of da feet...I still think it would be more fun if alcohol was involved.

A local legend [Tom Strom] mounts his servos in a bed of Shoe Goop and credits that with lessening the amount of mysterious failures that he has had to endure over 40 some odd years of racing fiberglass planes. Wipe down the servo and fuselage with acetone, then blob of Goop, squish servo into Goop. Neanderthal method...chances are you already know about it...you Caveman.

The green one was the fastest smoothest flying thing I have built yet. I'm guessing it hit at 190 or so.

It's good to see you post again. How is your daughter? Spence is not the neat little boy you guys remember. Heck, his voice is deeper than mine now.

Rog...there's this thing they call "CG" that you got to check or else your planes will do that sort of thing every single time...!

My name is Raymond. You might remember me. But if your memory has been weakened by age - welcome to the club.

I pretty much fly electric models now - but only last weekend I broke out a trusty TD .020 for a couple of circuits around the pumpkin patch. A flying buddy flew a Novel-powered parasol model that was designed by Lee Renauld - but whose name I can't remember!

Maybe you'll be able to ask me for an autograph at the swap meet in November?

P.S. This is the first time I've been on RCUniverse in years - literally. So it's funny that I found this thread - must be some psychic bond that is still out there.

Hey Raymond, glad to see you back here.......nothing like the smell of 1/2A fuel and the sound of a good running Cox engine....... That parasol plane sounds like the RCM/Airtronics Q-Tee.

I finally got my Black Widow powered Airtronics S-Tee out Sunday for a few flights. It felt good to fly R/E 2-ch again, and the plane flew really well considering it hasn't flown in about 31 years.
