           In the 1991 NATS video, at 1:22 is Mike Gretz, and I cannot remember the other gentleman's name, (who I believe was a fellow US Scale Team member with Mike at that time) holding their Fierce Arrow stunt models. I won and occasionally fly Mike's model now. Also at 1:44 is a shot of the appearance points judging, and in the upper left hand corner you can see my yellow and red SIG Chipmunk that I flew that year. In the 1993 NATS video at about 26 seconds or so is my flying buddy Mark Hughes and his ST.60 powered Epic designed by Jim Armour. That was a very nice model and met an untimely demise when it ran out of fuel at the wrong time one cool September morning at our Broken Arrow Stunt and Scale contest.

     Maybe that is what stunt needs , is to have all of us wear flashy brightly colored vests telling people who we are and not to disturb us??

   Type at you later,

   PS to add: It came to me in the middle of the night!! I think that's Jeff Perez with Mike Gretz holding Fierce Arrows.!!

Those are awesome.  Thank you.  I always wanted to meet Big Jim because I had an engine he reworked and it was awesome.  Now, I at least have seen a picture of him.  I appreciate the time and effort you put into putting these together for us.  Nice job and appreciated.

we're not to sure what it is these blokes are on , tho it might be the traffic fumes . tho pirsig says 1 in 50.000 has a I.q. of 170 + . this might explain its popularity .
