Re: [RCSE] Celebs in RC Soaring
Pat, Thanks for the kind words, but my work can hardly qualify me as a celebrity. My team and I are just a few of the thousand or so individuals who bring a movie to the big screen. We did win an Emmy for Visual effects on Miracle Landing for the 1/10 737. Recently my team did the 1/4 scale Hueys for Charlie's Angels, a nice explosion all done in the camera no CG enhancements, The 1/4 scale aft fuselage and tail section MD11 for Castaway, Bell 212s for Segals Exit Wounds, 1/6 th B25 for the Doolittle crash for Pearl Harbor, 1/4 scale MDX 900 for Travoltas Operation Sworfdish, and WE have just finished 14 Biplanes for Stuart Little 2 in various sizes and versions. I have worked everyday since JAN 3 except Easter and Mother's day. I am now ready to start training for the F3J finals and am desperately looking forward to some model and full-size glider flying. By the way I am lucky to have several people you guys fly with helping me. LJMP crew who also fly RCsaiplanes are Steve Addis, Dennis Brandt, Bob Pope, Dan Fink, and many others.

I have heard his name mentioned several times on the TechTV channel, most recently, last night. Jef was one of the principle developers of the early Macintosh computers. He was one of the first proponents of slope aerobatic competition and an early developer of cheap, expendable slope models. Anyone remember his fight with RCM over a product review of his cardbard slope model? As I remember, they gave his kit a very negative review without even flying it.

Re: [RCSE] Celebs in RC Soaring
Nifty website. It amazes me how realistic the special effects have become over the past few years, much better than the model-on-a-string effect of years ago. I'm curious... how were the Harrier scenes done in _True Lies_? I assume that they really didn't have Ahrnohld flying a plane in downtown Miami. --Bill From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Celebs in RC Soaring Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 10:37:45 EDT Pat, Thanks for the kind words, but my work can hardly qualify me as a celebrity.
