Thanks UStik-missed you

I have appreciated your contributions to this thread.

I have three of Ed's old props. I also have the pilot Chuck pictured later from the plane on the right side of the crate, (post 616 page 25, see below). I haven't looked at them closely yet, but they seem to be mostly 11X6, 11X7, and 12X6. One of them has been on a plane as shown by the pressure indentation markings. Don't be surprised if a prop comes your way someday[X(]

For me the story is not yet finished. I want to know what happened to Ed in 1966, 1967 etc. When was his last US NAtionals, his last involvement in the US team etc. When did Ed drop off the R/C "radar"? I'd be interested in input from those still with us that might know. When I had my talk with Ed, we talked in generalities, without specific dates mentioned. He cited "business concerns", and expansion of his business as the reason for dropping out of R/C, but there must have been more to it than that. From being the single most famous individual of the early pattern movement, to almost totally uninvolved in the space of 5 or 6 years seems truly hard to imagine.

Any information on Ed's R/C (and outside of R/C) activities from 1966 on would be greatly appreciated.
