Rick, what a fantastic site!!! Thanks for sharing this great resource.

I clicked on the Elmira flying wing symposium and saw this:

And here are the names, many of which we know (knew):

The speakers at the symposium. From left to right, back row: Karl Nickel, ???, Dezso George-Falvy, Jan Scott, Jack Lambie, Al Bowers, Paul McCready, Bob Chase. Front row: Rudy Opitz, Bruce Carmichael, Al Backstrom, and Jim Marske.

When Jim Marske lived in Costa Mes he used to hang out at our RC glider slope soaring site. Some of were flying all wing models of our own design and I was turning my model gliders using wing tip spoilers which interested him. I was in e-mail communication with Jim a couple of years ago and he was still flying in his all wing gliders (I think it was a grandchild he had taken for a ride recently).
