Mr.Pailet, Jean as he insisted I call him, really took me under his wing when I was flying gas free flight. We would always try to setup next to one another at the nats. He was always a true gentleman to both my dad and I. I was fortunate enough to win open 1/2a gas at the 98 nats. He sent me a very nice hand written letter afterwards congratulating me on my win. I will never forget that and still have the letter. I haven't seen him since 2001, but by judging from his picture and his great looking new design, he is still doing great things in the free flight world. I sure would like to set down and catch up with him.
