USS Queenfish (SSN651)1/96 scale R/C Model |
A few months
after this website was created, I received an E-mail from a fellow named,
Daryl Angell. He said that his, teenaged daughter, Mandy was building a radio
controlled model of a 637 class submarine, and asked if I could help with
some structural details.
I sent what I could, and asked for pictures when it was done. It took a
while to get those pictures (see below), but they were worth the wait. Mandy
named her sub "USS Queenfish (SSN651)" I think we all owe Mandy a big thank
you for continuing the name, and for doing such a fine Job. Thank you,
Mandy, |

"Enclosed are scanned pics' of my daughter's (Mandy), RC Queenfish. Sorry
it's taken so long. The first set of pictures didn't come out very well. And
I lost the second set until I found them at Christmas. Mandy has taken it to
2 sub regattas, (Groton, and King's Bay) and won a Modeler's Excellence
Award at Groton, and the Captain's Choice Award at King's Bay. I downloaded
most of your website and put it in a binder, and that goes with us to the
regattas. Your pictures always draw comments and people seem interested in
your website. Thanks again for all your help. " "Sincerely, |
