Fame, I Guess

[Bill Berson]

I'd definitely hit them up for a free model of the plane - and then either hang it from the hangar or put it on and end table in the living room.

I am guessing you have seen Ron fly a model....

It's a fair cop.... :-)

Actually, I was thinking about how I fly RC planes.....but it's more humorous the way you took it.

So I guess he should ask for two of them.

I can't tell in the picture...did they "borrow" your N-number?

I think Bill was referring to my oft-posted YouTube video showing me attempting to fly an RC....

Oh, yeah. My N-number, my paint scheme, my nose art, my plane's name ("Moonraker") on the forward fuselage. Even has gray wheel hubs, like the Groves I replaced my Goodyears with. Cockpit coaming shows the modifications I put on just last summer, not like this older shot:


I'm not peeved at all...pretty much happy with it. The company is from Greece, apparently, so there's little I could do about it, anyway. I've debated asking for a free model, in exchange for plopping it down next to the real one and taking a picture.

Oddly enough, I got email from RC'er Steve Milner, who just completed his own quarter-scale model of my airplane. He'd contacted me a while back for details. This airplane is amazing...notice the individual turnbuckles on the landing wire attachment.

Id ask for a model…. What is the worst thing they do, say no?
