| Mike Goolsbee comes to the scale modeling world direct from being an air force child now residing in Toledo Ohio. He has always had an interest in aviation. Mike presently works as a Project Engineer for an engineering firm whose main function is the installation of furnaces in the Glass industry. Mike first started flying u-control in the early 60's, and built his first RC plane, a single channel Goldberg 1/2 A Skylane in 1968. He started flying in earnest in the mid 70's and has been scratch building since the early 80's beginning with a 1/4 Scale Mooney with a fiberglass fuse along with a 1/5 scale fiberglass 172. From there, he went into ducted fans and now his interest are scale aircraft and also the building of electric parts for the hobby. Mike is an accomplished fiberglass parts maker and is a welcome addition to this web page. The other member of this group is Paul Stelly living in Ft. Worth, Texas, who is an airline captain for a major airline. Paul has been flying RC models since 1980 and started scratch building about 8 years ago. His projects include; multiengine and jet scale models. In the course of his hobby he has learned to work with fiberglass molds and parts and now metal with the purchase of a lathe and mill. Paul considers scratch building the most rewarding aspect of the RC hobby and encourages everyone to give it a try. His main interest is in helping to build prototype landing gear sets as opposed to mass producing them. Sometimes this is the major challenge to a model project. Both Paul Stelly and Mike Goolsbee are artists in their field and are a welcome addition to Scale R/C Models. SCALE R/C Models will offer to builders of scale aircraft, the scale drawings plus accessories and also scale kits from major kit manufactures for WW1, WW2 and Jet aircraft. Scale R/C Models will also handle scale drawings, kits and accessories from small kit manufactures and designers who wish to have a market outlet for their products. Presently we are representing Arizona Models, Jet Hangar Hobbies, M.C. Beaulieu Plan Service, Dynamic Balsa Inc., and Unionville. Anyone wishing to use this outlet for his or her products can reach me at (207) 768-3471 after 6:00 PM, any evening. |
