Default Another BIG Hello and thanks from Vegas !

Guess I have never have introduced myself to you'all ! I want to first say a HUGE thankyou to Flying Giants for the Vegas Huckfest !!! It was wonderful and I HOPE bigtime you come back next year !!! Most all of us "regulars" enjoyed every bit of it.

AND!! I WON something for the first time in my life (I think) - I won a 30% ARC and an E-Flite plane ! It was really fun to win. Also had a good friend win around $2500 worth of planes including a DA50 ! Thanks so much to the sponsors for that excitement !

I am a lifetime modeler starting around 10yrs. old by scratch-building and designing my planes and flying control line - none of us young-uns of the 50's could afford the nearly new RC radios which cost around $4-500 at that time. Then around the end of '70's I bought my first radio and started again in earnest w/flying.

I now fly both electrics and 50cc Ultimate . Am building 2 new planes -my first 50cc composite and an edge 260 w/100cc (all DA , of course ) .

I am helping three young people at our field learn to fly which is probably the most fun of anything we do - and the future of our sport !

Thanks again, Flying Giants, for the Huckfest and your great web site and support of all for our problems .
