Bruce E. Packham (7826 Naples Heritage Dr., Naples FL 34112; E-mail: bepackham@juno.com) wrote, “I’ve been building models for 62 years, except for eight years when I went to night school and was working overtime to help get a man on the moon. Originally licensed in 1945, I dropped my AMA membership during those eight years. Roughly 40,000 additional members signed up during that period!”

The model Bruce is holding is his Sig Somethin’ Extra. A BullRing .46 engine powers it.

Bruce added, “In addition to being fun to build, it is a great RC flyer.”
