same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history

toward future Well theres no doubt looking ahead good idea look back time time can very much like burying bead sand Theres lot learn past particularly concerning mistakes have made can avoid making same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock Hall Famer has doing Norm has producing biographies noteworthy modelers whether already Hall Fame effort has already produced dozens biographies being made available upon request AMA Headquarters biographies backbone AMAs effort document history aeromodeling done did Someday hope see bound book form libraries everywhere looking future may become part Internet available video tape form Internet availability would productive terms global access huge expanse information anyone see copy scope potential justifies current effort sure would benefit people being involved production Norms effort largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad expected amazing thing however pioneers still us expecting see survivors Muncie year Celebration Eagles II event scheduled September 11-12 can find out about Year Pioneer event requesting information

same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock

largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad

toward future Well theres no doubt looking ahead good idea look back time time can very much like burying bead sand Theres lot learn past particularly concerning mistakes have made can avoid making same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock Hall Famer has doing Norm has producing biographies noteworthy modelers whether already Hall Fame effort has already produced dozens biographies being made available upon request AMA Headquarters biographies backbone AMAs effort document history aeromodeling done did Someday hope see bound book form libraries everywhere looking future may become part Internet available video tape form Internet availability would productive terms global access huge expanse information anyone see copy scope potential justifies current effort sure would benefit people being involved production Norms effort largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad expected amazing thing however pioneers still us expecting see survivors Muncie year Celebration Eagles II event scheduled September 11-12 can find out about Year Pioneer event requesting information

ultimate goal RC kids in-school curriculum-based model building program can serve recruiting vehicle afterschoollSaturday/summer school program Fundraisers may necessary existing community groups good

addition students could asked contribute something toward cost model out-of-school activity just token amount todays students manage somehow find money expensive sneakers snowboards video games few

same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock

largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad

toward future Well theres no doubt looking ahead good idea look back time time can very much like burying bead sand Theres lot learn past particularly concerning mistakes have made can avoid making same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock Hall Famer has doing Norm has producing biographies noteworthy modelers whether already Hall Fame effort has already produced dozens biographies being made available upon request AMA Headquarters

availability would productive terms global access huge expanse information anyone see copy scope potential justifies current effort sure would benefit people being involved production Norms effort largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad

same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history

toward future Well theres no doubt looking ahead good idea look back time time can very much like burying bead sand Theres lot learn past particularly concerning mistakes have made can avoid making same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock Hall Famer has doing Norm has producing biographies noteworthy modelers whether already Hall Fame effort has already produced dozens biographies being made available upon request AMA Headquarters biographies backbone AMAs effort document history aeromodeling done did Someday hope see bound book form libraries everywhere looking future may become part Internet available video tape form Internet availability would productive terms global access huge expanse information anyone see copy scope potential justifies current effort sure would benefit people being involved production Norms effort largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad

toward future Well theres no doubt looking ahead good idea look back time time can very much like burying bead sand Theres lot learn past particularly concerning mistakes have made can avoid making same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock Hall Famer has doing Norm has producing biographies noteworthy modelers whether already Hall Fame effort has already produced dozens biographies being made available upon request AMA Headquarters biographies backbone AMAs effort document history aeromodeling done did Someday hope see bound book form libraries everywhere looking future may become part Internet available video tape form Internet availability would productive terms global access huge expanse information anyone see copy scope potential justifies current effort sure would benefit people being involved production Norms effort largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad

toward future Well theres no doubt looking ahead good idea look back time time can very much like burying bead sand Theres lot learn past particularly concerning mistakes have made can avoid making same kinds mistakes understand happened Its similar reinventing wheel done already can save lot time future focusing make wheel better based bow present-day wheel may measure up would like always trying improve things thats good idea can done know what old wheel like can figure out better other hand sometimes find out looking back what done long time ago may very well better what have now cases its bumbling realize some old-timers did things better current folks Whether its regarding model building flying will agree pioneers bit skilled contemporary builders and/or fliers Actually considering state art back regarding technology materials wonder great things done what now would regarded crude cumbersome present modelers would put up glue took hours dry batteries could charged soldering irons heated over flame could give examples things better today especially regard reliability capability radio control equipment engines look back can gain appreciation fact what old-timers did what has made what have now possible other words modern version aeromodeling exists because what done before didnt just happen overnight suggests bear read some people being inducted Model Aviation Hall Fame might worth looking what got contributions affect what doing now Its interesting learn people real live human beings dealt problems ideas manner affect course aeromodeling history neat things could done would compile history Hall Famers simplest form would consist copies documentation submitted Hall Fame nomination big step beyond however what AMAs Historian Norm Rosenstock Hall Famer has doing Norm has producing biographies noteworthy modelers whether already Hall Fame effort has already produced dozens biographies being made available upon request AMA Headquarters biographies backbone AMAs effort document history aeromodeling done did Someday hope see bound book form libraries everywhere looking future may become part Internet available video tape form Internet availability would productive terms global access huge expanse information anyone see copy scope potential justifies current effort sure would benefit people being involved production Norms effort largely one-man labor love although number others helpful gathering data Like us Norm getting years has endured typical later years medical problems effort plus fact still builds flies models regularly helping keep him feeling younger age would indicate So Norm hope can keep doing what youre doing benefit future current generations past decade have lost great modelers time itself sad

ultimate goal RC kids in-school curriculum-based model building program can serve recruiting vehicle afterschoollSaturday/summer school program Fundraisers may necessary existing community groups good

addition students could asked contribute something toward cost model out-of-school activity just token amount todays students manage somehow find money expensive sneakers snowboards video games few

instructors solving problem instructor shortage beginning hierarchy competence important promote Students will help others building problems eventually will assist running whole program long run will bolster club membership time will take stronger interest project will take least two three years get underway educators experienced school curriculum reform work know five eight years norm put new
