Default diahedral??

Thanks for the offer Hal but if it's not being held in Washington or Oregon it's probably a non starter for me. I like some of these older designs but not enough to go out of my way for them.

Although I seem to be developing a desire to master rudder only after all these years. My first ever radio model was a Goldberg Jr Falcon with a, ready for this one?, Command Master brick in it. It was the one type of flying that beat me.

Actually I've since flown a Littlest Stick on rudder only using an old ACE pulse setup and get good flights on it so I guess I've mastered rudder only after all. I'd still like to try one that was a little bigger though.

I've still got my old Controlair Galloping Ghost rig........ Perhaps I should make up a Jr Falcon or a Minnie Mambo or something...... Nah, the range was so bad on that reciever that I had to use a vertical whip on the model to keep it from going out of range in ony a few hundred feet........Ruined about 3 or 4 models until I figured that one out.

By the way. It's sort of funny in a nice way after all these years of seeing your face with a corncob pipe stuck in it from the magazines to actually be chatting with you.
