Harold C. Gauger, Contest Board Member, District V, is a new face among AMA officials this year. He lives with his wife and three children at 6211 Lake Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida, and is in the employ of the Florida Power and Light Company.
Harold started modeling around 1931 and since then has been active in solid models, rubber ships and gas jobs so that now he is actively interested in all phases of Free Flight flying – doing pretty well, too, setting a ½ A Free Flight Gas record in 1950. He is the Palm Beach Cloud Busters’ delegate to the Association of Florida Model Airplane Clubs and has served as president of the Cloud Busters in 1949, 1950, and 1954.
Some of Harold’s activities include the direction of local meets and the assistant directorship of the successful King Orange International Meet last year.
Harold suggests an age class for sub-Juniors with some contest events specifically for these young flyers. He favors, too, having three AMA Free Flight competition classes – ½ A, FAI Power, and a class for .153 to .65 cubic inch motors.
“More wonderful all the time” are Gauger’s words for the future of model aviation.
