Default RE: Getting back in to flying!!

Hi fellow flyers. I have a 3d airplane, set up with dual elevator servos, with a non computer radio. I refuse to buy a 2.4 GHz radio when my PCM radio is just as good. I believe a plane can be set up and flown just as well with a competent pilot without all those bells and whistles. With everyone going to 2.4, the channels on 72 meg are wide open, with PCM there is no problem with "hits", and a good PCM radio is cheap to purchase new or used! The dual servo elevator can be set up with a right and left hand servos with a 'y' harness. You can even reverse your own servos by reversing the pot and motor leads, and match up the any two servos in your collection if you have a problem with servo throw. I think a lot of this hobby is being lost with people that don't use their brains and just pull out the wallet. I may be old school, but I remember the guys who taught me how to fly, and what they had to learn on. Anyway as long as you are having fun, that's what counts!
