Snap is Snapped Up!
Well it looks like the most recognizable force in Giant Scale RC has finally been SNAPPED UP! (Pun intended!)
Elie "Snap A Saurus" Houayes is undoubtedly the most recognized Giant Scale Pilot in the US and beyond. His amazing spirit, energy, charisma and flying skills have made him the center of the party for many years now. Strangely enough, he has remained an independent, an unsponsored pilot. Elie and I even joked about this over the years, saying "I wonder when a company will be smart enough to Snap up the Snap A Saurus!?!" Well that time is NOW. Our good friends Jeff, Dino and Rocky from Thunder Tiger spoke with the Snapster and it looks as though Elie will be flying a 37.5% Thunder Tiger TOC Yak for the 2010 season! So congratulations Elie, and more importantly congratulations Jeff and Rocky for recognizing and grabbing the force known as SNAP A SAURUS! PS: Elie, this in no way negates your Flyinggiants.com 100 year drawn in blood contract and sponsorship!!

Re: Snap is Snapped Up!
Hilarious!! When I first started reading the intro to this thread, I thought you were gonna say he was gettin' hitched.
The context all fits until you say the bit "the boys @ TT". Well, Congrats Snap. Nice flyin', beautiful plane. Rishelman |

Re: Snap is Snapped Up!
Elie will always have to have the biggest planes in his trailer. He told me once it has to do with something about compensating for something?

Re: Snap is Snapped Up!
Well........
It's finally happened. Here we have all seen these "Young Guns," "Top Guns," XFC whippersnappers, precision kids, etc. Leave it to Snap to bring about an entirely new class of sponsored pilot: Enter the "Uber-manly, Ultimate Geezer-Class" No "young gun" would dare to compete with this class act on ANY field! I am presently facing Massachusetts from here in Texas in total respect to "The Man!" WT

Re: Snap is Snapped Up!
Congrats again Snap! I was wondering when someone was going to sponsor you.
Now when's someone gonna get him a 40% TOC katana? The man needs a bigger plane then 37.5%
