*11/21/2000 Our Madison Movie models perform for the camera.
On November first, several of our R/C Unlimiteds members; Gary Jensen, Don Mock, David Jensen and Harry Gatjens, traveled to Lake Castaic in Southern California to film the crash scenes for the Madison move. The group built four special 1/6th scale unlimiteds which served as replicas of the ones in the movie. The mission was to crash them for the film. Looking back on that day, Harry has built a web page that shows some of what went on. Click here for the full story.
