Hi again Mike,

Could be Benny Kjellgren, I know he competed in TOC in Las Vegas 3 years in mid 1970th (he placed 12 two times and 15 one time). He was Swedish F3A champion for many years in 1970th and 1980th. He is from Tidaholm here in Sweden and I think he lives there still today. He entered his first World championship 1975 in Switzerland and placed 11 (1 was Wolfgang Matt, 2 was Hanno Prettner, 3 was Dave Brown) - Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0a-ghZArnk
I think it might be a young Benny 6:06 min in the video (blonde with sun glases).
But here is an older Benny (in 2006) and I'm sure You recognice his face even today (in the beginning of the video): http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...18290556088339
Benny was also a competitor at the Swedish F3A championship 1977 (in his hometown Tidaholm, actually) where I placed somewhere in middle or slightly below. Guess who was 1977 champion here... (again). He was a F3A flyer all other F3A flyers admired for his precise flying. He flew a red-white Curare in 1977 I remember, before that he flew a Mach 1, actually painted orange-white like mine, and I'm rather sure he had Mach 1 in the TOC in Las Vegas, Webra Speed engine and Kraft RC system. His older brother (Tommy I think) was also competing in 1977 F3A Swedish championship with an Atlas plane if I remember correctly. I have seen Benny is a judge today at various acrobatic events here in Sweden. I know he is still an active flyer - just googled him and found in a Swedish model plane forum he has just built a huge 8 meter (260 inch) wingspan Duo Discus sailplane, like this (he was going to fly it in late May this year I can read in the forum): http://www.tun.ch/media/video/DuoX8m...cbae0da%200428
1977 was my only national championship but I competed in some more local and nordic events later but then high school, military service, university, jobs etc took my time. I however bought two small RC helicopters last winter (Walkera 43B and 4G3) that I play around with indoors. I'm sure tempted to get some new RC equipement and some nice acrobatic plane again but I just do not know much what is used these days.
