Hey Cool GB, not to far away. Grew up on a peach/walnut farm just up from you on Highway 39 in Puente. My early flying fields were the flower fields at the right season and the school yards which were always open. Later my first formal flying field was Whittier Narrows. Cool place but the boats on .27 at legg lake shot us down with great regularity.

GB I now have just converted one of my old Prism 7X's like yours from an RC radio to a Controlline radio. With the Hitec 2.4 module its like magic, I no longer have to use the old technologie electronic over the wire pistol grip throttle system which was very cumbersome to set up. I attached a neck strap to the sides of the case instead of in the front and another to go around my back so the radio is supported on my chest with the sticks facing away from me and toward the airplane. Much better than the pistol grip and much quicker to set up with no performance robbing special flying lines required. This set up is for throttle and a release stooge.

Sorry if I offended ARUP but heck here are some pics of yet another radio system in the interim that I also said "last radio I will ever need" Yup I was wrong yet agine. It was a pre processor controlled radio that had most of the bells and whistles of a modern computer type such as end points and even Expo and a host of mixes also PCM only. Only it was all controlled by 48 yes 48 pots and dip switchs under the front panel. But and this was the killer butt. There was no multiple airplane storage, Strickly a 'one airplane/one transmitter system[8D]

I was at a float fly about ten years ago and fellow walked up and tryed to buy from at more than I paid for it, he said man I sold mine and really wanted another bad. I kept it.
