I just received the latest RVator (2nd issue, 2005) and noticed an RV-7A that had a recent first flight in Tampa, Florida.
The pilot/builder, Clyde Pendergraff, doesn't seem to be listed in the white pages as of this date.
I was stationed at MacDill AFB in 1975 and 76. There was a Clyde Pendergraff that taught me to fly R/C's at nearby Brandon. We used to load up my Chevy Chevette with as many models as we could pack in it and spend all day at the R/C field.
I'm curious to find out if this is the same guy that planted the seed many, many moons ago. He used to tell me about his uncle's Ercoupe and how anybody could fly it!
Now, after all this time, it's possible that we BOTH belong to Van's Air Force!
Any of you Florida pilots out there that may know Clyde, please pass this message on to him.
I can be reached on the forum or at [email protected] or at 817-992-2311.
Thanks.
