Thanks for the link Ed. I think it would be thrill to see the likes of Ron or one of the others from that era fly again. I was amazed to find Mike Mueller in these forums; as past member of the Radio Control Club of Chicago, I oftened watched Mike or his Dad fly in the events around the area. I never progressed beyond the early stages of advanced, but my interest in classic pattern today is as strong as it was 30 years ago. I picked up the TigerTail III from crankpin (a TT was my first serious pattern ship and I recently found an old Polaroid pic of it) and plan to finish itlike Ron's TT III. I have a srcatch built one that I'll use to get back into the swing of it and I look forward to the possibility of competing in some future SPA events. Best to all of you.
