I dug up some photos to post....

Two of my Maya. Im a bit gray-er and round-er these days.

Photo of my Escape from 87/88 vintage. Conquest 4 from 89/90/91 time frame.

And one classic image of two of the best pilots I had the good fortune to learn a bit of aerobatics from- Dean Pappas and Ivan Christianson at the Tidewater NATS in 1988.

Enjoy!

Hi Bob,

I saw your name on the forum awhile back but I wasn’t sure if you were the same Bob Brassell that I knew from the Atlanta R/C Club. Now the picture confirms it! Always enjoyed watching you fly your pattern aircraft at the field and even that kick butt, beat up, old 40 size, Ugly Stik with the piped ASP 61!!! That thing was unreal! When the 2M pattern trend started no one in the club followed and pattern flying died a quick death. We are all flying at the same field off Constitution and there are a few of us still flying “classic pattern” aircraft. I sill have a Jester with a piped 61 and a newly completed Kwik Fli III taper wing (build thread is on this forum) and after a gazillion years I finally have my Tiporare ready to fly (build thread is on this forum). Here are some photos of the guys you’ll remember at the field http://geocities.com/rc_place/page2.htm
