Hi,

I started with control line back in the 50's and moved on from there. I bought my first R/C setup in the 70's, Karaft radio and Goldberg Falcon with OS FSR 40 and aside from about a twenty year plus hiatus for children etc have been involved ever since. I've always been fascinated by flight and spent the greater part of my working life as a remore area firefighter either mapping fire from a chopper of being lifted into an area where we could be winched in to cut a heli-pad for the rest of the troops. Some of ot passed on to my younger son who flys both full scale and R/C.

Why do I like R/C? I guess it's the combination of building and flying that have me hooked. I also like assisting the tyros and get as much satisfaction from one of my studets going solo as anything else these days.

Cheers,

Colin
