Awesome motors and an awesome person... He defenestrate was one of the persons that brought R/C Racing to the main stream.
R.I.P. Mr. Reedy.

this really sucks when someone of this magnitude passes away. i remember hearing cliff lett saying something about mike's illness. i wonder if darren westman will follow in his pop's footsteps.

i hope he's up there battling it out with ron paris, picco, and big jim greenemeyer. 4 giants that gave power to the hobby.

everyone should see some responses to mike reedy's passing on rcca's website.

It's always sad to see a good man go. An Icon gone, godspeed Mike Reedy!

Just saw this and the RC industry has lost a prominent legend in RC.

I was fortunate to meet Mike Reedy several years ago at RCX and was able to get his autograph as well as the other members of Associated. I feel very honored to have met and spoken with Mike. He is one of my heroes and will be greatly missed.

At Mike's party on Sunday there were some photos on display. This one was always proudly displayed in Mike's office. Vintage 1978 at the Golden State Classic in Monterey, Ca.

Mike always hammed it up for the trophy girls
