All good things...
« on: December 19, 2018, 05:47:07 AM »
All good things must come to an end. Hopefully most of you think that my production of covered foam wings for the CL Stunt community has been a good thing!

I am coming to the end of my 50th year of making commercial foam wings for this community, and this seems like a fitting time to begin thinking about bringing that part of my life to a close. So, I'm announcing here that 2019 will be the last year that I will offer sheeted foam wings for sale through Robin's View Productions. My hope is to be able to continue making foam cores after that point, but not the sheeted wings that I've offered for half a century. If my health and energy hold up, that will be the plan.

I'll also be offering the Lost-Foam wing building fixtures that I've developed. And I'll continue to offer for free the Lost-Foam building manual in PDF format. To receive a copy of that manual, please PM me your email address and I'll send it promptly.

If you would like a price list for my foam services, please send me a PM.

I'm sure that some will wonder why I'm placing this announcement here instead of on my Vendor's Corner site. I just wanted to be certain that everyone got the news.

It's been fun... Bob Hunt

Hi Bob, We all face this decision one day. You have given this hobby much, much more of your knowledge and experience than a lot of us would ever have time for. We owe you  many thanks and much more. You taught me how to fly inverted over 20yrs ago at a stunt clinic in N.J. using the "Down, Down, Down method" It worked. God bless.-----Louie H^^ H^^

Bobby, you may say you are retiring,  but take it from this old man it will for ever be in your blood.  Your Dad brought you up right and I did have several conversations on the phone with him back then.   May you have a very long and happy retirement and thanks for all you have done. H^^

Well said, Bob Z. 

Bubba H., that goes double for me. 

I can think of no individual who has given as much of himself to the well being of an endeavor beloved by a comparative few world wide but, for whom, the doing of the thing has been an important part of their life.

I happily include myself in that small but avid fraternity.

Well said, Bob. You certainly have earned some time with your feet up. And have some fun. Fun is important.   ;D
