Milan R/C Flyers Loss of Webmaster

 

The Webmaster of this site, John Cramer, was tragically killed in an auto accident in March 2008 at the age of 44.    John was a great R/C instructor, a talented 3D pilot, a prolific designer and builder, and a great friend.  His love for airplanes started when he was very young. He created great-flying warbird gliders from manila folders complete with insignia drawn with markers.  He was out of modeling for many years to obtain a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in electrical engineering, as well as an MBA in Marketing. Once he got into R/C in 1998, there was no stopping him.  He soloed after only a few flights on a buddy box, got into aerobatics, 3D, helicopters, foamies, and original designs.  He had a special gift and enjoyed sharing it. 

Below is John with a Jim Ryan-designed P-47 he built.
