RC Super Carrier CV-59 USS Forrestal and Dolomedes, the Water Spider

A Fascination for the Small! This is a tribute to Hans Gloor where his more than fascinating model of the super carrier CV-59 USS Forrestal is shown. Another not less impressive model is Dolomedes, the water spider. Fully borne in the mind of Hans Dolomedes is always a high light on shows where it is displayed in full speed!

Well, maybe there will be the time and the chances to travel again for you. But we gonna produce shurely some vids from our event and those might be a little comfort to you at least. And.. I had no clue where Kimberling might be. I checked that out on Google maps. Make it equal an travel in a virtual world to my place what is Wettingen, close to Zurich in Switzerland

Thanks for your comment! Then you would be a perfect guest at our next show case in april. So, maybe you are just in this time on holidays in Europe, who knows ;-)! And if so, Europe is just small, Switzerland a kind of in the center, just come along !!

Dolomedes is one heck of a strange boat

Dolomedes fully arouse the imagination of Hans. He once told me, that he is not very fond of the modern yacht designs and that he especially likes the difference. So here we are, sporting a real exclusive and futuristic design of a possible ocean liner.

No...i'm not that old! That was in '67 when John McCain was a pilot on the flight deck.I served from late '88 to mid '92 on there.Matter of fact i was born in '67...so it;s hard to forget the incident.

@oLdSkOoLkisS Thanks for your service and I hope that you weren't serving when that missile launched on the flight deck.

Kimberling City,Missouri is a few miles outside of Branson Missouri(entertainment capital of mid- America).We also live a few miles from Silver Dollar City which is an amusement park which i suppose you have heard of.I have been there so many times i got burned out!!

[oLdSkOoLkisS]

I live in the peaceful countryside in Kimberling City,Mo...just a couple miles outside Branson,Mo which i am sure everyone has heard of....but unfortunately is a little far from Europe!!
