Title: Arnold Nelson
Post by: Double Deuce on February 17, 2014, 11:37:15 AM

Pains me no end to note the passing of two time World F2A Champion, and great friend, Arnold Nelson.

He fought a good fight, but lost it yesterday, 16 Feb

My thoughts are with Betty and the Kids, and Grandkids, and Great-grandkids.

No services are planned.

Luke Roy and the remaining members of the Napa Bunch

(http://)  Here's another one with Arnie's winning (modified) Pink Lady type model.  It would be an understatement to say that Arnie was reserved. Years ago, when I asked Arnie what was required to win the World championships he said:  "A LOT of time spent in the shop".  A formula that STILL works to this very day!
