Mark Taylor Pro building school?
Now we all know that Mark Taylor is a Top Gun winning builder, and we all wonder how some of these guy's do such a great job on these toys. I for one always picture them being built in a completely sealed off white room with a full anti-static suit with fresh air supply. So when we attended Fresno Jets this past weekend, we finally got to see the techniques used by the pro of all pro's himself........Mark Taylor.

RE: Mark Taylor Pro building school?
I hope you all know that this was a joke we played on Mark Taylor last weekend at Fresno Jets...here's how it went.
Jimmy, after ripping the gear out of his A-4 for the 12th time, was mixing some epoxy to glue back in his gear blocks....on my table of course. The story was that the wind came up and blew over the cup, I think he set it down and it fell over...and since it was my table, he let it dry. After it dried he pulled it off my table fully intact, and showed it to me after hours and a few beers later. I loved it and thought it was a great prank to pull on someone. My first victim was Ron Long and his Ultra Bandit (yes the one in the pictures with the hot model). Then it was on to David Searles and his awesome Skygate Hawk...........that almost caused me bodily harm.[:@]
As we were about to leave I looked over and saw Mark Taylors F-100 (he went home already) so I placed it on there (made sure the bottom of the cup was very clean) and went on with our night of misbehaving. Next morning we got to the field late (suprise) and went to say goodbye to Mark and thanked him for putting on a great jet show, something was eating at me and I knew I should be asking Mark something else....but my hangover would not let me remember. Then it hit me! He was a good sport about it and the way he told the story had us all in stitches.
Thanks for being a good sport Mark, and thanks again for the great jet show,
Dave
