Hi Tony,
Sure am glad to see your very active. I've just started flying again. I stopped flying around 1982 or so. Been flying for 2 summers now. Starting to get real comfortable with the flying again. Been flying an Aeromaster I rebuilt and a Aero-works Yak-54 I rebuilt after my son, Nick, crashed it. He's only been flying two summers now. He got interested when I starting re-building the Aeromaster. He's 37 years old now. You saw him at the contest when he was about 5 years old. He never was very interested in models until now.
Sounds like Rusty is going to have a great "classic pattern" contest this next summer. I just got the Saturn out of the bags to re-store it so I can fly in his contest. I hope the OPS will run as well as the old Supertigre Bluehead I have in another Aeromaster. It started on the first flip after setting for 25 years in the garage. Unbelievable. Didn't do anything except clean the outside, oiled inside and cleaned carb. Best running engine I have as far as reliability is concerned.
Hopefully we'll run into each other at some RC event,
Ralph White, Neoga, IL
