My home and family are in Jupiter Florida, I am currently in Bohemia New York, and for the past couple of months I've been in Korea helping to put this place together.

So, Mr. Gruby, I have always wondered what is meant by "sharp as a pistol". That never made any sense to me.

I was born and raised on the norhern planes. Plentywood Mont. It's easy to find on the map its stuck right in the nothastern corner of Montana. I moved to the Portland area in 1960 so have had time to grow webs on my feet. Good people lot os snow and freezing weather and hot dry summer with a lot of wind A little like texas but people are fun.

Boston ,Mass. I have had the extreem good fortune to have lived many places where no modelers lived and moved out of them just as a bunch of modelers showed up. Of course I always moved to a place where no modelers existed. My most recent move was to Atlanta Ga where darn few modelers are active in spite of Randys presence and the Marietta club. In Atlanta it is 60 0r 70 miles to anywhere. There could be 100 modelers here and none closer than 40 miles from you. It is just as close for me to drive to Anniston Alabama and fly with Tom Morris. He has at least a dozen good sites to fly on the Army base and has no one to fly with unless they come from out of town.

Born and raised in the southeastern hills of Ohio near Marietta, knew Wooley as a teenager, spent my Navy years in Norman,OK; Memphis,TN; and Quonset Point, R.I. Spent my first year after the Navy at the airport in Syracuse, N.Y., then moved to the Toledo, Ohio area. Fly at the local r/c field which is way out in the country. Fly mostly alone, but a couple of Toledoans are starting to drive the 40 miles SW to fly at the field with me. What a relief to have company!
My little jerk-water town is Napoleon, OH - come fly with me!

Hey Ed...
Flying Buddies shouldn't be that much of a problem in Snellville GA. That's the home of Aero Products, Randy Smith, and his wonderful PA Engines etc. Contact him at AeroProducts he should be able to give you some names and He's a great stunt filer and one of the best sources of info for engines and stunt planes around!

UUHHHHHHH....Ed,
Sorry about that...Aeroproducts is actually in Dacula GA. Not sure how close that is to Snellville. I seem to remember Randy Smith was in Snellville and then moved several years ago...MAYBE! He probably can still give you some contacts.

Near Wichita Falls, Texas....hottest, windiest place on earth...so it seems. Moved here 10 years ago and am one of only 2 cl flyers in this city of 100,000+. Though a circle exists in a city park, it is dangerous to use as most people have no idea they should stay out of the way. Both of us live in the country and have our own circles (albeit with huge cracks in the earth and brown grass that crackles when you walk on it).

Puget Sound, Washinton. Sort of. Between Belfair and Vaughn out on Olympic Peninsula with a view of Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains...but nowhere to fly yet. At least not consistently.

Randy, that's too bad. I don't have anywhere I can fly consistently, either. But that's not because I don't consistently have somewhere to fly.

(I consistently fly -- quite inconsistently -- at McIver Park just west of Estacada, Oregon, outside of Oregon City, Oregon, which is a short drive southeast of Portland, Oregon).

Glad to see I am not the only "gypsy" out there. I started in Bell Gardens, CA (just outside LA); Oahu, Hawaii (courtesy USN); Marysville, CA (near Sacramento); San Jose, CA; Santa Maria, CA (near Santa Barbara); Dublin, CA (bay area); Jacksonville, OR (just across the border from Calif.); and finally Cottage Grove, OR (near Eugene where I fly with the Eugene Prop Spinners.)

There were, of course, numerous addresses at these "approximate" locations.

I started flying control line in about 1951 or so. Quit in about 1953 or so, and finally started back in Sept. 2008.

I'll second Floyd's invite for any of you to fly with us if you are in the neighborhood. We can provide an airplane if needed.
