Mike,
I am sorry to see you "toss in the towel" as I have really enjoyed working with you.
Over the years I feel we have gone from business associates to life-long friends. The many videos you have done which you graciously allowed me to put in the RSM Distribution web site were some of the best I have ever seen. They were always spot on, never boring and refreshing as they always recognized that they were not "the only way" to accomplish the build. One of the worst things that happened when I sold RSM and retired was that our business relationship ended. Thankfully we have been able to continue our wide ranging discussions and the sharing of ideas about how to build lighter, stronger and better performing model aircraft. I certainly look forward to taking with you as we both encounter "the down hill slide to senility". Bet you are glad that I am older than you so very likely to hit the bottom of the hill first. I'll try to let you know what you will encounter.
I know the control line portion of model aircraft will miss your presence and total professionalism. I wish you well in your new endeavors.
Eric Rule
