My first control line airplane was a Goldberg Ranger 30, powered by a Pee Wee .020 and flown on dacron lines attached to one of those plastic Cox handles with the built-in reel. My dad built it for me when I was about 8 years old, in 1958. We flew control line through the 60's and gradually transitioned to R/C. Some of the planes I remember are the Goldberg Little Toot bipe, Li'l Satan and Voo Doo (Goldberg got a lot of business from us) as well as a couple of my dad's old team racers from the late 40's.

Lots of great memories!
