remember the NATS (1991 or 1992) where Brian Agnew took First Place in the
TWO-METER, STANDARD, and OPEN CLASS flying
a Two Meter BANSHEE?"
SORRY, Buddy :-( !! YES!! You left out one, He took tops at ALL FOUR
CLASSES at the 1991 NATS, BUT in CLASS A (RCHLG) with his "Vertigo"
design--I have the wing from that ship!! In CLASS B (2 meter) flying a
Flite Lite Falcon 600; in CLASS C (100 inch Standard) flying a Flite Lite
Falcon 800; in CLASS D (Unlimited) flying a Flite Lite Composites
880--FALCONs ALL, the BANSHEE did not exist yet :-) !!.

in any other Nats has won all four classes. I doubt it has ever
happened. No wonder Brian teamed up with Mark Allen; it's a marketing
plot to conquer the competitive soaring world! Be that as it may, it is
still the PILOT who controls the model, and not the other way around, so
congratulations, Brian!"
P.S. Buddy! This didn't start out as a put down :-) nor is it one now, but
I remember how much a "Vertigo" FANATIC you were and I observed that you
had left out VERTIGO from, "A BANSHEE and Brian Agnew fan, Buddy Roos!!!"
