This was in the International news section on my start up page.
Model Airplane Enthusiasts Claim Record

Thanks for posting the link early enough to follow the last half of the flight. I missed the build up but was just all the more flabbergasted to see that they were doing that.

But if anyone could it would be Maynard Hill. For all 38 years of my modeling history I've been seeing his name pop up every few years. Setting model airplane records IS that man's hobby....

Here is a link to an article that appeared in the Globe and Mail (Canadian newspaper).

The print version had a photo as well. I scanned it. (Hope they don't sue me )

Whatago Maynard!
