I needed volunteers and didn't get get any. Deans personal workload is such that I thought he needed a assistant so I appointed Bob Hunt.
Rules to follow.

Congratulations Bob to your new appointment!

Congrats Bob. I just finished my first E-model and it has been great. I know it's only Larry's ET-1 Trainer, but it's been a great entry into E-powered models for me. So this section will be a great help to future projects, like a electric Akromaster I'd like a build next. I guess I should start that thread.
PS. I'll have a Holeshot finished by Friday. I think I should build another Holeshot and make it electric, this time I should use one of your building methods. I happened to have a foam core that was the same size, so I used it. Hope I've done it justice. :) Someday I need to figure out how to cover foam and make it look nice, yet another thread.
Thanks again

Uh-oh, NOW we are in for it!!!

I guess Bob has figured out the secret to the 36 hr day! Great addition to the program!

Bob,
I am glad that you are joining with Dean on this.
Like Dennis I don't know how you have created a 40 Hour Day You are are guy who not only shares your knowedge, but also appreciates the knowledge of others.

Probably comes from the work ethic of his great Dad, who I had the pleasure of talking with one evening some years ago.

Hi Bob,
Welcome to the wonderful world of moderators. Since you have come in the middle of the year, I feel I should share some of my enormous salary for doing this, it should arrive on June 31st........... don't spend it all in one place.

Bob who? LL~ LL~ LL~ Sometime perhaps he will reveal what his wife said when he came back from winning the World Championship - it's a hoot!
Welcome aboard oh electric guru!
Just give us sport/amateur electric flyers a break. We really can fly with cheap equipment and have success and a good time.
And when are you going to finish the forward swept canard? That is one sexy design! Hmmm, battery in the main pod, but the motor in pusher configuration off the canard....

Bob,
I met you back in the mid to late 70s. It may have been Braintree, MA or Fall River, I don't remember. I don't expect you to remember me after all these years, but perhaps you have a vague recollection of a few guys from Maine picking your brain and trying to absorb everything you were offering up. The thing that sticks out in my mind, aside from your glossy white airplane (Genesis, maybe?) was Tim Doughty asking you how hard your model pulled. You offered out a hand and just about pulled him off his feet. He wasn't expecting that kind of line tension.
Good to see you're still involved. I'm just getting back into it, very intrigued by electric power. I hear you know a thing or two about it.

I remember George MacArthur. He was very passionate about Control Line. It's a shame he's not with us any more. He had a sidekick by the name of Pete Beal. I think Pete still flies a little combat here and there. I last saw him in the 90's at a Formula GX Combat contest put on by Neil Simpson.
On a brighter note, I flew today! For the first time in 20-odd years. It was a Baby Clown with an .061, I think it was a Brodak engine. It put a bounce in my step and brought a smile to my face. #^
