Default RE: CL Stunt and Pattern (similiar yet different)

Great report Chip. I saw one flying electric last year and it gave me goose bumps.
When my father and I attended the combined Nats in the 60's and 70's we were always most interested in seeing controliners flying stunt. They used to get static judged for appearance. Those planes were the most beautifully built I've ever seen. I was however hooked on pattern.
As a kid I knew the owner of Top Flight Sid Axelrod. He gave me a Nobler Jr. I built it without help from my Dad. I was so proud of that plane. Flying it was a blast but it went by the wayside.
It's great to see that this is pure fun for you. I'll be keeping an eye on your progress. And by the way Bob Hunt is a great guy and a friend of pattern.
All the best with it. Mike Mueller
