Miss Productions in New Jersey

On April 18, 2023

Here’s a photo of three intrepid OT Stick flyers flying their new “Miss Production” model in tribute to the late Dan Driscoll. This happened at the Tuckahoe Squadron meet this past weekend. They flew on 15% rubber and 9″ props with the models weighing in at about 40-45 grams. Dave reports he had a 169-second flight (2:49 minutes)! I am sure they will have them all ready for the Dan Driscoll Memorial event in Raeford, NC next month (check the FAC Calendar). I am sure there will be other Miss Productions in the air, too!

In Memorial

I received this note from Duke Horn:

This is a notification that another Squadron 17 member has passed away. Curt Sanford, on February 2nd, 2023. he was an inactive Blue Max holder (38 kanones) from Dallas. He was my flying buddy for many years. He and I grew up together building model airplanes, since nobody’s dad knew anything about it. We taught ourselves. Here is a link to his obituary: http://obituaries.localcremationandfunerals.com/o/sanford,jr./59895/
