Dr. Diesel
« on: February 06, 2022, 11:52:44 AM »
My RC club has informed us that Eric Clutton aka Dr. Diesel has passed away. He was a longtime member of the Coffee Airfoilers here in middle TN and well known for his home built full scale “Fred” design as well as his fine work on diesel engines for all types of model airplanes. Blue Skies buddy.

That is quite a loss.  Enjoyed seeing Dr Diesel at the Toledo show...

Yes, I concur with all the above statements. He always had some good information when I spoke to him on the phone.

He will be missed.
