I believe you have pics of multiple different people. I'm pretty sure the first one is Kim Gardner - but the other 2 look like some one else.

There was a build thread here on RCU a couple of years back. I think the guy is from Switzerland. Can't remember his name though.[:@]

Yup - the first pic is definitely Kim Gardner from Mesa, Arizona ... see http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=2349014 where he asked me to post some pics for him, including the first pic at the start of this thread. Kim's RCU is JetMax (http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/...=1&memid=30759) , you can reach him by PM etc

Definitely is Kim in his shop in the left hand photo......that Olympus NL in the thread above is now in my UltraBandit.......It was to go into the F-16, but unfortunately, as of Jan. 2006 when I purchased the Oly while out in AZ, Kim was getting out of R/C........very sad, cuz he is one master craftsman......

The F-16 in the picture was a superb production and the L/G was absolutely museum quality.....

That Panther on one of the shots was also superbly done....wanted to buy it but already sold by the time I got out there......

Don't know what happened to all the Viper molds, etc......maybe the guys out in AZ have more info.....

I`m sorry to hear that... Hope he is well, though!

Hopefully we`ll hear from the jet-jockeys in AZ.
Thanks!

Yup, the first pic is Kim in Mesa AZ.........Basically, a few of the guys in his local club tried to convince him that his radio interference problems at the Mesa field were his fault because "he just can't fly" so he sold everything except the F-16 stuff and got out of the hobby........Too much drama. What a loss. Kim is truly a craftsman......actually a jeweler by profession and a nice guy as well. I have no idea regarding the fate of his HUGE F-16 project..............I think that he is building custom choppers now.

Tailwinds,

John
