Morning.
That's terrible news. Phil was stand up and involved. He was really interested in making your pile of parts that you had purchased as a Tank and taken apart back into a better kit than it was.
We have lost one of the real enthusiasts here.

regards,
Painless

Hello everyone. Blake informed me that he posted here about the sad news about our friend and fellow tanker, Phil Pflueger. I will not go into too much detail, but Phil's health has been failing for some time. He and I have spoken about it and he said things were looking better everyday. that was the thing about him. Phil never wanted to have anyone worry about him. Him wanted to share the good things with all of us, and savor every moment he had with us. He was a true gentleman, and a true warrior. He is one that I am proud to call brother. I miss him terribly and wish him eternal peace.
For those who are not aware, Phil had a facebook page and on there his daughter posted some information about burial proceedings. Please see this link.

As some of you may already know, I am working with some of the guys here to try to get a donation fund for his wife. I have no details yet on where to send anything, so please bere with me on that. I will pass any information I have to Saxondog in the coming days. Thank you all for any support in this. It is appreciated by all involved.

A sad day for the hobbie indeed

It is guys like this that inspire the rest of us to push ourselves that little bit further when we reach for the plastic clippers and glue.

My thoughts go to his family.

I am very sad to here this, Phil was an inspiration to me when i first started in rc tanks, he's the one that got me past the initial confusion of all the different systems and he built me my first IR capable tank and his service is second to none. He will be greatly missed by all of us and this hobby, my thoughts are with his family in this hard time.
Thanks for everything you've done for us Phil, you're legacy will live on through the hobby and all you have done for it, rest in peace.

Oh no! I'm quite sad now... I'm new to the hobby and his correspondence was so great... What a shame. I hope the best for his family.
