A couple of old Kodachrome slides from Les McDonalds old Kodachrome 10 daze days...
First Kodachrome 10 is from his Jan 73 collection...Great looking model...(both of them!:)
2nd shot is a random Kodachrome from his WC Holland 76 trip and his fellow competitior T. Hara and his amazing FLYING BOX! Hey Les...Do you remember what model was in that big fancy box?
-
That box contains his "Hurricane". He used it for many years and it flew really well.
Hara is a pretty cool guy and was a big deal in Japan during the glory days of stunt.
Back then the Japanese team seemed to be connected with the Enya factory and he had a pretty potent .45 in the front of that thing.

(Maybe that other little new born fellar' wiggled off away from Mary and I that night , while we were born under that old maple tree down by ta' pig trough?"*
(That was Arky birthcontrol...in those daze days.)
Us up the river , back woods folks..would often put their newbee's out in the woods over night under a tree.

The gene pool seems not to affect one's abilities to play banjo, however. I'm from a different continent altogether.
This is me, last year....

What is this relationship between guitar playing and control line stunt. There CANNOT be a coincidence. It is just coming up way too frequently.
-
maybe something about steel strings?

Can't be true that Americans don't recognize their national musical instrument? ;)
I do play guitar, but that's not what's in the picture.... It has steel strings, however... ;D
