    Alright. Too bad your phone started to die, I am very thankful for all your answers, I think, we'll chat again on the phone if that's alright with you! Great interview btw! Alright, have sent emails to Marty and Bob with questions and am waiting on Justin to see if he wants a phone call too or an email. Let me know Justin!

    Craig,
    As I mentioned in my email to you about RCNC history, I was in contact with hobby founders Poindexter and Fleugel after I joined the original RCNC club in 1984. Communication with Fleugel was via tape casettes and I kept his for years.

    Unfortunately they weren't high quality to start with and became basically noise after a couple of decades in storage. Fleugel's tapes had loud German martial music for the intro and were very enthusiastic and entertaining! I wonder if he's still active in RCNC?

    I still have those cassette tapes. Boy funny stuff now. Fluegel in his car driving and explaining how to build a combat ship. This was before Swampworks was created. How far this hobby has come..lol

    Fleugel was at the MWC Nats this year. He fought his new VDT, and did quite well with it.

    And his tapes still have German Marching music on them, things haven't changed that much. [;)]

    I think this "essay" of yours might wind up in the Scuttlebutt, don't you agree?
