RC Resale Going On The Road To Joe Nall

-A A +A

RC Resale is going on the road to Joe Nall. AMA member and donor, Ray Moore, has donated a large sample of his work from 2005 to 2016 to the AMA Foundation. This donated collection includes mostly WWI aircraft designs. Roy encourages the prospective buyers to restore the aircraft for flight or for display. Roy Moore has been building and creating since he was young. His passion for modeling and crafting has been consistent throughout his life. He would build everything from plastic aircraft 1:72 scale models to multiple 20 foot wooden power boats. From Tamiya to Revell and from balsa to marine plywood, Roy would build it, finish it, and then use it. Throughout the years, Roy has perfected his modeling skills in aviation, nautical, and railroad designs. Roy grew up in the 1940’s and 50’s during the “Golden Age” in Fairfield, CT.  He earned educational degrees at Harvard University and Duke University School of Law. Roy also served as a supply officer in the US Navy during the Vietnam War Era. After being discharged from the military service, Roy returned to Fairfield, CT where he made his career and raised a family with his wife, Margaret. In 2002, Roy and Margaret retired to Beaufort, SC. Roy’s passion for craftsmanship and aviation continues through his children. His oldest son, Woody, a retired USMC KC-130 Hercules pilot and combat veteran, is employed as a B737 First Officer with a major in US Airline. Roy would like to thank the Academy of Model Aeronautics and fellow aviation hobby enthusiasts for helping to continue the legacy of his lifelong passion. Roy’s donated collection will be available for resale at Joe Nall May 16-18. Money from the sales will directly benefit the AMA Foundation, which helps the Academy with programs designed to preserve, enhance, and promote the model flying hobby.  Sneak peak photos of the collection: To send photography or media of these aircraft to Roy: mitmo1119@gmail.com
