[NSRCA-discussion] Remember Ed Sweeney?

[Ron Van Putte]

I had a "blast from the past" show up at my little hobby shop door  
tonight:  Ed Sweeney, who designed the R/C Nobler in the late 1960s  
or early 1970s, in the Washington, DC area and later was the  
publisher of R/C Modeler magazine, until it;s demise in 1975.  Some  
of you may remember that he competed in Pattern contests in the 1960s  
with a prototype Goldberg Skylark 60, which eventually became a Top  
Flite kit.  I originally met him in Washington about 1970.

He's temporarily here at Eglin AFB, working on a UAV (unmanned aerial  
vehicle) design competition and needed some parts for one of his  
autonomous vehicle designs.   What a small world!
