Vincent in 95-98 I lived in Branford, pretty close to you, and flew at the East Coast Swamp Flyers
http://swampflyers.net/ site in Northford by the Honeywell plant. Mark from Branford Hobbies was the mascot back then and I used to buy a lot of stuff at his hobby shop at Branford Hobbies. Did you ever fly there when local?
I recall there was a paved field at Bridgeport too... Maybe a bit too small for turbines though.
