WOW! I can't count that far back! Started with control line in 1951 or so at age eight with a Testor's Sophomore 29 and a McCoy .29 (which I still have). Moved to R/C in middle 1950's with a Berkeley(sp?) Piper Cub powered by same McCoy and "controlled" (lol) by a Babcock single channel tone transmitter, tube receiver, cascading rubber powered cascading escapements and two tons of batteries. "Flights" consisted of hard "heave-ho"
; pilot running around holding transmitter up in air chasing radio contact with plane and occasional jerky turns, sometimes in the direction you actually wanted to turn. Of course, each turn meant a loss of altitude and most flights ended back on the ground with the engine still running. Gerat sense of achievement, though after each and every flight!

Hey Navy7603,
Thanks for your story, that was quite enjoyable, and entertaining.
How far we have come, and what state of the art stuff we have to play with!
Even though their not R/C, I've been buying a few vintage balsa airplane "kits"
from a guy off eBay, made back in the 40's and 50's. These kits were not much
more than a 3 view, and a solid chunk of wood that was roughly preshaped to
look like a fuselage, and you had to carve this sucker into an airplane, and shape
the wings and stuff. I won't build them, just look at them from time to time to appreciate
the nice lazer-cut kits and arfs we have to choose from today.
To everyone that has responded, thank you also.
I haven't gotten any notices for a while from RCU about any replies, but I am glad to see that
the post is still in use. Please keep it going!
Will post some new pictures when I get the chance.

Hey Mikejdad,
You must buy a lot of jewelry! Do you have a system worked out, like a carat to C.C. or W.S. ratio?


Cool to see all you guys from all over the world too!

Red7Fifty, my name is doug. i've been looking for a descent .40 size P-40 and noticed that you had one listed in your fleet. i was wondering where you got it from, who makes it, (if still in production) and if not, do you know where i can get one? i really like the top flight .60 version, but with only having a .40 engine and a wife, i can't get the plane and a new engine. anyone want to trade for a wife?[sm=punching.gif] i also have:
GPM RV-4
model tech, maybe global(i think) messerschmitt with a o.s. 32. stripped and covered in tan monokote (awesome...it screams)[>:]
laser models colibri .20 trainer[/color]

wish i had access for pics, they all look really nice. maybe some time when i'm at home and not work...damn security settings!!if it doesn't want to fly, cram a bigger engine in it or throw it off a cliff and control it to the bottom!!

I REALLY need to stop buying planes...

All flying, well, not at this very moment of course.

GP Shoestring W/ Saito 1.00
GP Lancair W/ Saito .91
GP Cub W/ Saito .72
GP Corsair W/ Mecoa .46
H-9 Funtana W/ Saito .91
Sig Kougar W/ Picco .40
Modeltech P-47 W/ O.S. 1.20FS
Pacific Aeromodels Laser W/ Zenoah G-23
(German Kit,don't know brand) Sptifire W/ Magnum .61FS

Several SPAD combat planes, all of which need constant attention.

Would like to have more, but simply don't have any more room in my garage storage closet. I think I'll be able to find more room elsewhere pretty soon.

RickVB,

Nice Staggerwing! Hopefully, in the near future, a company will come out with a Staggerwing ARF. If, and when, they do, I'll be one of the first to buy! I just don't have the time to build, or I would already have one. Nice job!

Actually, I picked up the unbuilt staggerwing kit because I thought it was a shame that the built one (the one in my avatar) doesn't have much detail (no interior at all; admittedly very difficult with this kit). I wanted to add it, but decided it would be less work to just start over with a new one. Stay tuned; I'll get to it sooner or later.
