On March 18, 2009, the aviation community lost a long time modeler in Hal Humphrey. Besides being a professional pilot, Hal was a dedicated scale R/C modeler.

We are faced with the challenge of finding new homes for Hal's R/C projects, equipment, and inventory. As you can see from the items, Hal's main focus was on scale type airplanes, especially jets. Hal was an excellent craftsman who was obsessed with detail. Most of the airplanes are either NIB (new in box) or if completed, have never been flown.

Some aircraft, especially some jets, are in various stages of construction. Most of the completed airplanes have the servos installed, which we have left in place, but most receivers and batteries have been removed. Where some engines are specific for certain installations, we have left them in place and are listed accordingly.

Specific questions about an item can be addressed through the email rcestate@merr.com.

The Next showing will be held on October 10th 2009, from 10am - 2pm, at Hals house at 7622 Gray Fox Trail, Madison. Which is located two blocks north of Mineral Point Road just off High Point Road.

Thank you... Dick Buescher
