A very special moment...

GremlinX · 05-19-2006, 09:36 PM

I normally don't get all mushy for just anything. It was about 4 pm and I was about to leave Nall. I was up at the flight line. Sadler finds this 11 year old kid who really just wanted an autograph from Mark Leseberg. Mark did not really give him an autograph and a pat on the back. He turned the kid to the flight line and brought Tony Russo's 35% personal plane up. He took off, did some rollers, took it up 3 mistakes high... I'll just let the pics speak... Talk about a real good guy and a love for the hobby... Mark... awesome my friend... awesome...

Thanks for sharing that, Keith.

Hey Gremlin,

Excellent pics and story. I have to say that Mark will answer all your questions asked. He is a great guy in the RC business.

Sweet!!

At least it's a good excuse for not doing the 1 1/4 snap on takeoff into an elevator dragging high alfa KE harrier finnishing with an anti torq roll.

Too cool!! Do we know who this kid was, or was he just some kid with a winning lottery ticket in his pocket??
