Regarding "Go France", "Collector Series", videos on the internet, "Team Promotional Department"...

Thank you for following this thread.

As a Dad, I am very interested in meeting other families whose children ALSO have developed an interest in modeling. Personally, modeling has provided a lifetime of mentors, friends, positive influences, problem solving, experimenting, victories and those fantastic lessons learned, when one fails.

To expand on the Brett Wickizer video story, knowing that my kids watched it every day until it was removed from the EF site...In 2005, my family traveled to Muncie to watch the FAI Finals. I was sitting at Site 1, watching the flying all the while listening to the surrounding pilots talk about a new young person who won Intermediate. Later in the day, a young man sat next to me who looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where. Then the background conversations, the young man and the VIDEO all came together! The polite and engaging young person who was beside me, was the same pilot in the "Yak Video" (as my little boys scream), Brett Wickizer.

I am pleased that the sport has so many polite young people who are gentleman AND talented pilots.

A few more photos of the "Team Promotional Department" just after the Easter Bunny left. Tom is pleasantly surprised with the rudder authority on his new metal Corsair, although he tells me it has some pretty wicked mix problems especially noticed in the "roller" and the "S".
