THIS MONTH I have included more of
the pictures from the Scale event at
Bridgewater, Massachusetts, held August
17, 2003. Bob Mandeville provided the
photos and captions.
B.J. Rousso and his Extra 330S.
Bob Foss’ Laser 200.
Focke-Wulf 190 by Horst Hesshaus.
CD Hank Iltzsch (white shirt) talking to
Gus Deltwas.
Howie Carter and his Tuskegee Airmen
P-51s.
This is the pit area and some of the
spectators who attended the event.
Another view of the pit area.
On Sunday, April 11, 2004, I visited the
Wingbuster’s field for the first time this
year. John Arrigo, the club president was
there with his new Sig 1/4-scale Piper J-3.
This airplane took approximately two
years to build and the results are worth it. It
is probably one of the nicest J-3s I have
seen and the first flight was nearly
flawless. It is covered with 21st Century
fabric and powered with an O.S. 1.60 twin.

checking the engine prior to its first flight.
The 495th RC Squadron held its annual
auction in March. The club auctioneer, Joe
Ramaci, has held this position for the past
25 years.
This year Joe was honored with several
awards and gifts from the club and was
presented with a Superior Service Award
from AMA.
Joe received an award for 25 years of
service from club president Ron
Quattrochi.
Even though he had been honored, Joe
still had to continue with the auction.
Next month I’ll probably report on Art
Alfano’s Scale show.
