Hi Ralph,
I've really enjoyed your build. It's beautiful. I started the hobby in the 70's and competed with Dirty Birdies and UFO's when I was 13-15. My Dad flew reed and single channel in the 50's. We've never stopped building and flying and my Dad still get's out in his 80's.
I was as frustrated as anyone and I'm a reader not a poster. There have been a lot of improvements at RCU, all for the better. Your build thread looks in tact and all photos restored. There are 19 in pages 1 & 2 alone. Hopefully you'll come back from the dark side. I think the issues with RCG will catch up to you eventually.
Best Regards,
Bill
