1995 was the last year. Too bad.

My first kits as a kid, 40 years ago, were Goldberg control line and free-flights so I consider Carl Goldberg as one of my heroes growing up.
Frank Zaic, Glen Sig (shortened last name because I don't remember how to spell it), and Nick Ziroli are people I have also admired.

Yo Art,
How about Lou Andrews or Phil Kraft? It['s too bad that Lou Andrew's kits were gobbled up by Great Planes, then discontinued...

The current living Legends Tatoo and Kraut of S.P.A.D. When I was starting this hobby and running out of money and paitence from crashed planes they showed me how to fly free Pepsi and Coke signs .Ild have given up otherwise . Still the most fun for the buck and an excellent platform to build your skills on with out depleating the contents of your wallet ..THANKS GUYS !!!!

RE: Who do you remember
My man is Miles Reed. I finially got a chance to meet him at Joe Nall this year. I still remember my first IMAA meet I attended in 1989 and it seemed like most of the planes were his design for the giant aerobatic flyers. Gerry Neal, OW Manness, Warren Thomas--seems like all of them were flying his Weeks Solution X. Here is it quite a few years later and after owning (and still possessing many of) his planes and a lot of others, His are still at the front of the pack! And they are strong as an OX and packed with wood--and still fly very light.
BTW-- Got my latest Miles design on the way, suppose to be here before the end of the year. A scaled down version of Sean D Tucker's Challenger.
While theyare still around and going strong, I too admire Bruce Tharpe and Dave Patrick. I think they were the innovators of the "build-em-light" way of thinking.

Frank Garcher. Frank started Midwest Model Products. I worked there as a kid (this is ancient history) and he was a great guy to work for. He was a great piano player also.

Chuck Cunningham - Loved his column in RCM. Built one of his designs (Turbulent). Met him at a Thunderbird event in Fort Worh. Quite a gentlemen.
The hobby is full of greats!
