Stu Richmond and Beauteous Butch

Most of you probably recognize Stu from his many years as a contributing editor of sport flying articles for various magazines. Most recently he enhances the pages of R/C Report with his "Just Plane Fun" column. Stu is now a "Jet Pilot". We had the opportunity at a recent outing at the RCACF field in Apopka, FL. to utilize the JR "Pilot Link" system to offer Stu some jet time. He flew the JetCat P-80 powered 60" F-86 perfectly. All during the flight he was commenting on the smoothness of the model and the "sound", that awesome real sound of the turbojet engine. Stu had made the effort to get a waiver some time ago - now he has reason to keep it current. Son's Bruce and Brian are also avid jet jockey's.

Scott Booth from Davenport, Iowa recently won top honors "Best of Show" at the Quad Cities scale meet on July 29, 2001. Scott's Sabre uses a RAM 500 turbine for power and a JR radio. Hard to tell by this photo but the Sabre is detailed with thousands of rivets and plenty of weathering.
