A little back ground on John at this years TAS: September 2, at Snohomish,WA, John's ZDZ 160 on his Comp-Arf has a major failure. He gets a "loan" from one of the RAMS club members on Sept. 10th to buy a DA-150. He wins Northwest regional Championships in Advanced on October 6th. His Futaba 9Z fails about a week before TAS, and he now has no radio. Many offers from FG members, he ends up using a Futaba 9C Super from one of the RAMS club members (a great guy, Mr. Corby is). In practice on Tuesday, his Comp arf is toast (crashed, I don't know the full story yet). Kevin Miller has his airplane in Tucson in case some one needs a back up airplane (another true, stand up real nice guy). John flies Kevin's airplane (borrowed) and a borrowed Futaba transmitter to 2nd place in Advanced. Nice work John. Congrats!
