Tera, our "worlds best ski Mom" spent a week in Keystone, Colorado in April 1996 where she was a guest ski tester for SKIING Magazine . Tera skied almost non-stop for six out of six days. She was a little sore, but, boy is she ever "buff" now.

Tera was in SKIING Magazine BUYERS GUIDE which came out in the Sept/Oct 1996 issue. You may subscribe to
SKIING Magazine . Mail $14.97 to SKIING Magazine, PO Box 51555, Boulder, CO 80323-1555 for a 14 issue, two season subscription.


Gunnar's first plane

This was Gunnar's first R/C airplane. It was an Easy-fly .40 powered by a OS .40FP engine. The radio was a Hitec 4 channel. This is the plane that Don destroyed. As anyone who flies with Don & Gunnar soon finds out, Gunnar is by far the better pilot !


Don's new R/C airplane

Yes, this is Don's new Dragon Lady .60. It is powered by a YS .91SC engine and it's radio is a JR783. It has a 66" wing span and was built from a ModelTech ARC kit. Don still dreams of the day when he can fly it by himself. For now, more experienced pilots must take the plane off and land it for Don. Gunnar says he could fly it, and he probably could.


Paul the Python

During a block party in 1996 near Don & Tera's home, Paul, their 4 ½ foot Python was the main attraction. As of 2006 Paul is 6 feet long.
