Mr. Bennet is very ill. He has been the driving force behind the TOC since its inception. It remains unknown whether or not the Sahara will continue the event after Mr. Bennet passes. I sure hope they will, and I wish the best for Mr. Bennet as he struggles with this illness. Certainly someone will step up and begin a contest with a large purse, considering the succes the TOC has enjoyed. We as aerobatic RC fliers owe a great debt to Mr. Bennet for starting this contest, as it has had a huge impact on the way RC aerobatics are flown today and the development of new technologies relating to giant scale aircraft.
