    Properchopper, an inspiration to FE!

    On a run at the lake where I live in Lake Forest, Ca. Tony, the infamous Properchopper, was kind, (and brave), enough to teach 3 people, (girls outnumbered the guys 2 to 1), on how to pilot a FE. None of them had any type of previous RC experience but patient Tony turned them into near racing experts in a few hours. He even graduated them into running his UL-1 powered Insane Hydro. Now I KNOW he wears an extra large Speedo! No crashes, no dings and no fires…..just lots of happy faces.

    It is a real pleasure to have ambassadors like Tony helping to promote the sport.

          Heck, it'd likely help all of us if we could get the Gals involved [in FE that is ].

          Thanks again Joe for hosting another fun & burger filled day

              Tony is one of a kind. I'm glad i've got to know him through the forums and hope I get to meet him personally someday. It's amazing how we never met but is as helpfull and genorous as friends I knew my whole life.

                      Oh Douggie I think that last one would have Chopper on the vinegar stroke better get the towel ready.
                      Good on ya Chop, more the merrier, and I sure like looking at the girls instead of our crusty old mugs.

                              Yeah, we had a great time. Thanks again to Tony for letting us learn on his boats. I think all of us newbies were much more worried about crashing/destroying his boats than he was, but we were able to keep them all upright and had a really good time. Wish we could have stayed around longer in the afternoon and didn't have to drive back so soon after lunch though...

                              Best,
