Hey guys,

How many of you have your aviation roots from control-line Model airplanes.
The Northwest AMA Control-Line Regionals are to be held at the Albany
Municipal Airport, Albany, Oregon begining Friday May 31 through Sunday June
2, 2002.  There will be speed, Carrier, Mouse Racing, Slow Rat Race,
Old-Time and Classic Stunt, Precision Aerobatics, 80mph combat, fast combat
scale, 1/2a combat, goodyear and some NW events.  It is my understanding
that this is one of the largest control-line meets in the country, nationals
excepted.

So if you are interested, fly your bird to the event, there are motels off
the north end of the runway, so I understand, and get acquainted with some
of the guys.

I flew in the early 50's and again in the mid-late 70's. Would you believe
there are some flyers I knew then who are still flying now.

I have dusted off an old profile stunter after 25 years and am preparing to
show those guys a rusty stunt pattern.  Would you believe It is still a kick
to do a reverse wingover, inverted flight and outside square loops?
