..........Tony Bonetti was a regular member of my club at the time (RCRC in NY) he, Dennis Donohue (Flying the El Tigre) and my Father (Pat Buzzeo) were ALWAYS trying to out do each other...........
Would that have been in Orangeburg, NY? I saw Tony there a lot, but I don't remember seeing Dennis Donohue.
Yep, Orangeburg, NY (behind the old world wide Volkswagon/Chromalloy building) Dennis was active there from ~ 1970 till at least 1978 or so...
he and my dad were 'contest buddies' for a couple years... I was caller for my Dad, Dennis's son (Dennis Jr, aka 'Little Denny') was Dennis'
I remember going to their house in Bergenfield to cut some wing cores for the original ElTigre
(that WAS a kit for a very short period.. fiberglass fuse as I recall was by Savo Mele... same guy who produced the fuselage for the Pulsar Bipe)
Dennis Jr was my best 'flying field buddy' for that entire time, they were regulars.
TriSquire, were you an RCRC member? if it was between 1967 and 1980 I'm SURE I'll remember you..
I've got some old photos that I really do need to Scan and post...
