Oh Boy! I totally missed this one. Several years ago I was checking out Marvins Novi, and I noticed that the APC prop had been shortened, like in a ground scrape, as the ends were just a little rough. I asked Marvin about it, and he said it was working just right so he just kept using it. And the old Fox did run really sweet. After that, every time I saw the Novi, I just had to look to see if the same old short prop was on it, and sure enough, there she was. One of the times I was checking out his prop, he was wiping it down with fuel. I asked him why he did this, and he replied that that was a secret perfomance trick. I was standing there scratching my head trying to figure out how that worked when he got that sheepish grin and told me he was just cleaning the old oil off of it. Heck! I was about to go try it on mine, cause when Marvin speaks, I listen. Those of us that know Marvin and Rea, know just how fortunate we are. A really great modeler, a good friend, and a very nice couple.

A big ole 10/4 on Marvin Denny. He is always there for help when ya need it.  I once told him about a Fox hemi head that I had purchased.  He said "send it to me and I will make it right for you, just send me the postage for shipping.  Hard to beat a deal like that.  He very seldom misses one of our contests. If he ain't flying, he is helping us judge.  We always look forward to seeing him and his lovely wife here in Tulsa.

Four years ago at Tucson I launched Marvin's plane the year the wind blew so hard he said just make sure the old girl was aimed out a little before turning it lose, all went well and he wind flew it after the pattern and just landed like nothing to it. A good guy he and Rea are wonderfull people and a joy to be with.
