I am very surprised that nobody has posted the passing of Dick Bennett of B&B Specialties. He died last Friday as a result of injuries while riding his motorcycle. His contributions to RC gassers and the hobby in general are great. Below is some text from Chris Bergen of Bergen helicopters that was posted in another forum.

>>>>Dick passed away at 4:20 PM Yesterday at the age of 69, with Virg, his son Jeff, and daughter Jennifer in attendance.

Dick is with his Father Cliff, flying large scale models to their souls content, making perfect takeoffs and landings, no more broken props or bent cranks, Round loops and axial rolls are the norm instead of the exception.

I will miss our visits, our small dealings helping each other with our businesses. <<<<<
