Trevor Boundy from SAM 600 Australia is the new SAM webmaster Trevor who is also the webmaster for SAM 600 is the builder of FlyNet, one of our excellent web based resources for searching information about Old Timer models. Just type in a model designer's name or the model name, select the category of model and click. You will be rewarded with a 3-view of the model and a table of characteristics. Trevor and three of his Australian flying buddies flew with us at the 2007 Las Vegas Champs. They had some radio problems resulting in field repairs of significant magnitude. Here Trevor holds the model while the "100 knot racer tape" is applied to the broken fuselage. Resourceful these Aussies! Trevor is currently collecting and organizing the SAM site material and shortly will introduce us to his work. As with all such endeavors he needs your help with pictures, articles, contest schedules and results so please contact him. |
