Wow I just found out today from my friend Sergio Zamora who lives across the street from Matt in Whippany NJ. What a loss! I never met Matt in person but we talked via phone and e-mailed. He was such a craftsman and skilled modeler and very famous on RCU. My condolences to his family. Matt may the R/C heavens be good to you in the after life. You will be missed by the community.
I had bought a Kyosho Oxalys 50 from Matt which flew like a dream. I had crashed it due to engine failure and recently sold it to Ron Swift president of the Emerald RC club in Snohomish WA who just fixed it. Ron take good care of this bird it is historic!
Greeting from Brazil you all I just moved back here again for a few years.
