Free-Flight Exotic-Flying-Stuff Semi-Scale Outdoor Various-Wood-Types

Gentlemen and Ladies, I am thrilled to be aboard and I appreciate the opportunity,

I am an old Marine, I spent 40 years working on and inspecting all sorts of airplanes, both
general aviation and three airlines. I retired more than ten years ago. I have been a modeler
for about 60 years and am still excited about all sport Freeflight and most R/C aircraft. I
certainly don't chase as well as I did, but, the grandchildren seem to enjoy it.
