James Z. Paysen has never established any AMA records but he has come close many a time. He is a member of the Contest Board from AMA District IX and he, his wife, and four children live at 1519 N. Battin, Wichita 14, Kansas. Jim is an aeronautical engineer.

Jim was treasurer in 1953 and president in 1954 of the “Y” Wichihawks Model Airplane Club, the club to which he presently belongs. He has been a worker at many of the Wichita contests and was Contest Director of the Spartan Aeromodelers Contest.

A feat that few, if any, can boast of is winning 11 first places and one third-place at three contests over one weekend! Jim and his teammate attended one contest on a Saturday and two contests on Sunday, the next day, which entailed 760 miles of travelling!
