Larry , PhillySkip here checking into this thread. I normally don't engage in "on line drama", but I needed to put in my 2 cents. No one in "our stunt community" would deny that some of the best builders and fliers have come/came from the left coast,Nats results will attest to that.With that said, magnificent "stunt ships" are being built and flown all over our country and the entire stunt community worldwide.
The Icons of our sport/hobby have come from everywhere,not just from your backyard.
Another thing, there are builders and fliers out there (usually old farts like myself) that do not spend their time on the computer posting pics of their latest stunt ships or boasting about their contest record.I know of magnificent stunters that will never make it to our "District Galleries"unless someone other than the builder/flier posts them there.My point is ,that not everything regarding to "stunt" starts and stops in your neck of the woods. Fraternally,and cheers PhillySkip
