Hey Steve, how are you my friend? I still have fond memories of us flying at Texas City back in the day. Matt had moved on by the time I arrived on scene but I met him at the Austin contest in the late 80's. He pitted next to me and was very friendly and encouraging to a this new novice flyer. A few years ago he helped me install a gasser in my Pentathlon. He will definitely be missed.
Go to the Texas City RC website and see the improvements made since we flew there. I just rejoined the club this year after moving back to Pasadena from Gilbert Az. Problem is it won't stop raining LOL.

Stay in touch,
Mike Austin
