Default RE: Moving to Georgia!

I live in West Cobb near the Paulding County and Cobb clubs. I do not belong to either yet simply because I've been heavy into tennis, my second passion after RC, and it takes up much of my time. I will be reducing this soon so that I can get back into RC. I have a room full of, well... "stuff", including Big Stick, Kaos, Katana electric, jr 9303 2.4, Cubs, etc. Oh, and one Supra Star (actually, not sure if it is a Supra Star, but it is a Prettner design. In KY I used to have a Supra Fly 45 with a Rossi 61 RE and retracts, it was a rocket!) that I bought at Perry recently! It is built and marked with a 4 digit AMA member number. Curious to see who might have owned it! I will post a pic tomorrow.

In any event, I work for FAA at the Regional Office near Hartsfield and have driven it for 13 yrs. I can say that is is indeed a roughly 1 hr drive, however, there are about 10 different ways to get there so that alternatives always exist. I am in the minoruty however, with most co-workers living on the South-side. I used to fly for Prinair down in SJU (Herons), which a few of you might remember from the late sixties through the mid 80s. I was there 77-83 until i joined the FAA.

Your in for a treat with Perry, Joe Nall and SEFF all withing a few hrs, not to mention the wonderful SPA folks. Their events are simply nice! I once saw Bruce Underwood, President of SPA, win a brand new RC system, don't recall which one, but I remember thinking it was a nice radio, in a raffle at one of the SPA events at the Paulding club... know what he did? He donated it back so another member could have a chance to win it! How's that for friendship and generosity?

Please let me know if I can help in any way/cp
