Registration is up to 60 aircraft, 18 Controline . I see where there is a B-17 in team scale R/C, that will be great to see fly. Maybe (Lord will'en) we can get a picture of Ed Mason's B-17 with it.
See many of you Fri. morning. Have a safe trip.

The B-17 was beautiful, 3 years in the making and 6,000 hours. I'll post more about this model later.
The Tiger Cat had two, 7 cylinder radials, this thing sounded awesome when it fired up. These two planes were "bad to the bone".
More later.
