Title: Steve Buso lives!
Post by: Bill Hummel on March 29, 2022, 12:59:11 PM
Just got off the phone with Steve Buso. Many of you will remember him from a few years back. Steve has a pile of nice balsa in his basement that he would like to offload.  If you are interested, call Steve at:  518-537-4644 or januso-at-gtel-dot-net.  Please call before 8 pm.

Hi Paul,

 Word travels fast! A guy with a thick wallet called me right away and a deal was made for all 14 boxes to be shipped out to the west coast. Thanks for your interest.

Steve Buso was one of the nicest guys in the Controline hobby.

I recall there have been a number of designs that look good in my not-all-that-knowledgeable eyes.

My grandpa and I have a set of plans for the bobcat. They’re up at his house. Cute little airplane!

Years ago, I had a great conversation with Steve about kitting his Bobcat but I never did get around to doing it.  He sent me a set of plans and I cut a prototype kit but never did release it and for the life of me I cannot remember why.  It was a really sharp looking little plane.
I ended up kitting the Jaguar instead.

Busco's plans are the best on the planet too.

Was???  When did he become a meanie-pants?  I ask because he is still above ground…

He is NO Longer in the controline hobby, and hasn't been for a number of years.

Just for interest, what constitutes being, "In the Controline Hobby?" I got plans off him last year.

Craig
Ps. He was very amicable to me.

Semantics is important, too - but let's not get into that.

And Pampa President, and designer of the Pampa Logo, and paint scheme designer & Finisher extraordinaire, and his museum grade plans are so nice you hate to build on them.

The Bobcat was designed for a Fox .35 Stunt. Probably would be dynamite with a Brodak .40, if you like Brodak .40's.  D>K Steve
