I knew Tom and had two of his ships. One was not finished and other was a Chipmonk. I had a great ST .46 in it and did fly it. Sold it to Robert our host. I sold unfinished ship as i was moving to Tucson. Robert was a good friend of Tom's and wanted him to have one of Tom's planes. I still have a bunch of props Tom worked on. I was sad that he passed on. One of the nicest modelers I had meet over the years. Sal Tabi/ Dale Kirn/ Dick McCoy/Duke Fox/ George Alldrich/ and several other great ones. Plus in SO. Cal. met many of the speed greats and these are fine helpful folks.
cheers,Dan
