Yes OK they were big in pylon but Bob Smith was also a heck of a pattern flier too. Seems to me like the flying skills in pattern really helped in Pylon. Lot's of guys were fast but they lacked flying talent in pylon.
Bob Violet andwas another guy who flew pattern and pylon but succesfully.
Mark you haven't changed a bit. Still good looking!!!!! Good picture with your EK Logitrol radio. Did those things even work???? Mike
Hey on a side note we have a guy that's been coming to our midwest contests for the year or two that was an engineer for the old Heathkit company in the RC division. He has some interesting stories.
