Donny, I suspect you and I grew up watching the same types of TV shows. Back then they didn't need curse words or any of that so called edgy stuff. It was just as funny and the whole family could watch too! Do you remember a country comedian named Jerry Clower? He was really funny too. I think it was Charlie Pride (one of my favorites) who helped launch him into stardom.

Some pictures of the Gueret Interclubs to be getting on with. The 1/4 scale Nieuport 11 was powered by a Saito horizontal twin. There was another powered by a single cylinder Saito but I didn't manage to get a picture of it. The owners planned to fly them together but the twin would only run on one cylinder initially. Once that problem was solved, the model flew well but not at the same time as the other one.
The large twin enginned inter-wars airliner seems to be a club project. The picture features the party from my own club who went to the event: Fabrice, Gerard, Francois and his grandson Robin. The 1/3 scale Sopwith never left the van!

I be 68 or so? In 1959 I took a nice 20" electric Cris Craft and cobbled together a nice motor mount to put an .049 into it and dreamed of getting it running in our Ohio lake--finally got it started and it would only run backwards--started it over & over in both directions and it would only run backwards. I figured I needed a reverse prop but there was no LHS or any help at all--I knew no modelers and my dad was a banker = 0 help. Without the internet I was helpless!! It was my fanatical obsessed project for weeks and I almost died at the failure! Sky King rules--along with Fury, Lassie & Rin Tin Tin--you could live a whole nother life in those shoes!.

Flew the WOT 4 XL this evening with a two-pipe system. This time I managed not to fill the fuselage with glow fuel! The engine started straight away and the model flew well. Fin modifications seem to have worked.

Who remembers the Carol Burnett show? Now THAT was some funny stuff, especially when Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were involved. How they ever managed to get through some of those routines is beyond me.

Really sad that this is a beginners site and all this crap is endless on it, you guys should give it a break. Oops, forgot this is RCU mentality at it's best.

I'm not sure what your problem is. There is no requirement for you to read this thread.

Something related to control line aircraft flying, a little humor from the Red Green TV show. Enjoy!

A glutten for punishment, just picked up a left hand exhaust 1950's K&B .35 Torpedo Greenhead (w/o painted head). Got good compression, just need to build me a plane to put it in. Got 42" span Sterling Hellcat profile and 42" Berkeley Interceptor kits. Berkeley is late 1950's, so much more period correct. Will clean up engine, paint head green, install the missing spring steel clip ratchet for for needle valve. This engine will go on the inboard side to direct exhaust down away from the hand that is adjusting the needle. Will fly it on 60' lines.
