Thank you all! I appreciate your kind thoughts and compliments. The trophy will be awarded to an Old Time stunt Flyer; Larry Scarinzi and I will pick out the first recipient. Next year, Larry, I, and the first year recipient will pick out the second year recipient.. (etc., etc.)
Jo Ann Keville mentioned that she wished that Rusty could have seen the award. Actually, I think he did! When I was picking out the Sandcast Fox .35, I had one that was not the best one I own; it had a few flaws, and I thought about using it. Rusty immediately appeared in my mind's eye and said "Aw, go ahead and use it, it's just for me", and then he smiled. Needless to say, the best Sandcast Fox I owned is on the award. I used a Sandcast Fox because Rusty liked them and had around 40 of them. (Forty!) The prop is an original Topflight 10-6 with the early "Top" decals on either blade. The tank is a cut down Froom, and the Motor Mount is a Super Cyke item.
I had to order the walnut bases from the internet because I couldn't find a trophy shop in Tulsa that would order them for me. It took two seperate bases to make the Award. At present, I am building the carrying case for it.
Thank you all again for your kindnesses.
