Your Unofficial C.E.F. Roving Reporter Reports In: Thursday in Buder Park

You guys appear to enjoy (or at least nicely tolerate) my occasional ramblings, and as such, I figured I'd push my luck with even MORE rambling !

I once again hauled my buddy Ed up to the John Cochran V.A. Hospital in St. Louis...this time for what we figure to be a FULL day.  So...having 8+ hours on my hands after dropping off Ed, I hit out to spend a couple bucks at Scheffer's Hobby Shop, then down to Buder Park to see if anything was going on.

I'd never been over to the R/C area, so ambled down to watch some of their machine.  Buder Park is supported by the City of St. Louis, and it's a mighty satisfying thing to see the phrase "Model Airplanes have Priority" in ANY official context!

As always, I was packing my faithful Nikon, all the better to justify my shelling out the bucks to buy the thing, and figured to post a few photos here, with still a few hours left to camp in the hospital lobby.  No much else to type, as the photos pretty much explain themselves:















I noticed this fellow (as usual, I didn't think to get his name) setting up his gear over on one of the beautiful control line circles, and got his OK to take some photos:
