This is a really interesting airplane. When I was a kid, one of my neighbors was Frank Crismon who had flown this airplane in the 30s...well maybe not this exact airplane, but in the same squadron. I...

RE: Curtiss Condor Bomber

Tom, I have some 8x10 BW glossies of the Condor that were taken at, or over, Rockwell Field. They are boxed up in my dad's basement, but assuming I can find them, is there a museum somewhere that...

RE: Curtiss Condor Bomber

No, the Condor was later, there were only 12 Curtiss Condor bombers built. They were stationed at Rockwell Field in California and only were operational for three years, beginning in, I think, 1931.

RE: Curtiss Condor Bomber

Tom, I have not been here for a while, but I grew up in Denver, Colorado, just a few doors down the street from Captain Frank M. Crismon who flew this airplane in the 1930s. Captain Crismon, whose...

RE: Baby on the way...

I finished a stable of 5 airplanes just before our first baby came in 2002. I got one more off the boards that year and haven't completed an airplane since. Kept flying pretty regularly for the first...

RE: Tower Hobbies dropping Sig?

Hope you are right Bob, but I tried that optimism when Tower quit selling Goldberg only to watch them whither on the vine. Nothing left of Goldberg now but the name and an atgreatplanes.com email...

RE: Tower Hobbies dropping Sig?

You can order from Sig directly, but this is yet another example of how modeling imitates life. Tower has gotten so big that it can put a major, respected, high quality model manufacturer out of...

RE: An ARF Nation

Too many people WANT to believe that my original post was intended as a personal attack on ARF flyers.

That was NOT the intent.

As a nation we are losing our technical abilities, despite...

An ARF Nation

I read the "boring airplane" thread and became very depressed.

Lots of people lamenting that very few people build, or even have the skill to build anything anymore, and lots of others...

RE: All I see is boring planes and boring helicopters

Used to be that everyone had a Super Kaos or an Ugly Stik...but at least they all had different color schemes.

RE: childs woodworking tool

Good on ya Cougar for wanting to help out your step son. I'm not aware of any such power tool set, but I would suggest that you go with a basic set of simple hand tools. I find that 4th graders,...

Some people may remember that there was once another site where a thread like THIS ONE would have been deleted! Given the success of RCU, I think the moderation is being handled pretty well. There...

RE: 747 AIR FORCE ONE

I did a bit of checking and I think you can all be pretty darn sure that this is not something that is going to get any real funding.

Those of you who would like to do something real can do what...

RE: How did you come up with the names?

First initial, middle initial, last name. Set it up as my username on a unix system 30 years ago and have been using the same ever since. Although as the internet gets to be more pervasive, I...

RE: What is it worth to us?

Great, now I know that you are willing to discuss real prices in the real world and that is critical. Many R/C ers seem to think that once they own the airplane, they have some sort of constitutional...

RE: What is it worth to us?

I'm thinking that around here a sufficiently large parcel without water rights would go for around $30,000. Add $20,000 to pave a runway and maybe $10,000 for other improvements, so $60,000, put down...

RE: Tower hobbies leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Actually, Tower may not even do that. Read John McPhee's book Uncommon Carriers. For many online retailers, UPS warehouses the goods directly from the manufacturer, picks and packages the order in a...

Time for new radios again

About every ten years the state of the RC art changes enough that I feel like I need to buy new radio gear:

The first radio set I bought was World Engines Expert gear in the early 1970's. As a...

40 years ago today they finished the countdown and sent Apollo 11 racing toward the moon. I was only 7 and all I remember was that for 8 days my parents had our little 13" black and white TV running...
