Well the DVD shouldbe very interesting to watch for those that flew RC back in beginning of 1960th. But for me that started flying in 1973 (and we almost felt like pioneers, at least here where I live) it was a great glimpse in very early RC flying when they still flew reed radios and it just started to come proportional radios. I was impressed how good they flew back then but on the other side it was few selected top flyers that was invited to "Detroit Invitationals" 1963-64-65 that this DVD is about. And also about Tom Brett, World Champion in RC1/F3A in 1962 with his Perigee plane. I'm sure anyone interested in classic pattern flying will watch this DVD and think wow that was great flying and very interesting video and photos. It is hard to explain, just buy it and watch, for a few bucks it is yours. I do not regret a second I bought it. When I first loaded the DVD in my computer I watched it in one session and I have watched it a couple of more times after that. Mr Winter has put his soul into this DVD for sure.

Well said Bo! Though it was before I started RC, we flew CL and FF along with the RCers. We did that on thenorth side of the field out of the way of the RCers. That was in the mid 60s, so when I got Chuck's DVD it rekindled loads of memories from that era.I actually could recall the fields layout, the stone drive, andthe ukie circles. It's a great DVD if you are familiar with that era.
