Even though we'd grown apart in the past few years, I still count Chip as one of my good friends. The six months I spent with him, travelling all over Arizona and learning the secrets of model designing are still some of the best memories I have.
Chip started me into designing, taking a young kid with big ideas and encouraging them.
You will be missed.
I think I'll work some kind of tribute to Chip out with Chris over at ecardmodels. Chip's favorite plane was the Cessna 337, so I want to dedicate the OBP model to him.
