Holy Cow......I too leaned to fly RC on a Swizzle Stik.....IN 1977!!!!!! Co-Incidence? I DON'T THINK SO!!!!! Oh yes, those were the days....if you could'nt bring 3 birds to the field, you didnt fly 3 times!! Tower Hobbies just started selling RC stuff, and introduced their "State of The Art" Tower 4 channel set-up. The Transmitter was white stamped metal, 3 servos and a receiver dialed in on AM!!
Wow what memories~!!!!
