A very significant model acquisition happened in June. The recent passing of Ed Kazmirski resulted in his carefully preserved Taurus pattern plane appearing on the eBay auction site. Recognizing that this plane, then in the hands of an auction company as part of Ed's estate, needed to find a resting place in the AMA museum, many Vintage RC Society members made monetary pledges and VR/CS now owns this historical plane. The pledges were made with the conditions that the plane should not be flown and must be donated to the AMA museum. This will be done at the 5-day "Celebration of RC" event that will be hosted by VR/CS in September, 2009 at the AMA International Flying Site in Muncie, IN. In the meantime, the plane will be exhibited at various VR/CS events and in the VR/CS booth at trade shows.
