Jim,
Great picture---when was this? I tried reeds for a while and never got good at it, didn't seem natural. This was about the time Sampey came out with the first proportional radio, so I figured all my gear would be obsolete when I got out of the Air Force, (joined in 1962).
So I got rid of all of it when I was about to sign up. Had a Taurus in about 69 and flew it for quite a while. I remember how much I liked it then, with a Sid Gates Royal radio and a Veco .61 --so I'm in the process of building another one now. thanks for the pic,
