Kinda the same as others, flew CL & rudder-only in the late 50's, lots of stories associated with chasing / hunting the RO airplanes. Couldn't afford the reed stuff and went on to other things. In the early 70's I build most of what Heathkit offered, still have a scope & VTVM that work. Built a Heathkit 8ch w 4 wire servos, went to the LHS and ask what they advised as a good RC airplane - they said "Kaos" w Veco .61 - OK, built that and installed the radio. Of course CL used 45 degree control travels - so why not on the Kaos. Figured that out after several rebuilds and eventually put 100+ flights on it, second airplane was a Mach 1 and I got hooked on pattern. Put over 1000 flights on the Heathkit (w 3 wire servos) before switching to ProLine. Still trying to get pattern right.
