What I like about C/L is the feeling of CONNECTION, actually FLYING the model. I really enjoy my Peacemaker though I get a bit dizzy if I'm not careful. Next plane will be another radial cowl Thunderbird - I had a great one I built in about '76 when I still lived in Rhodesia. Used a Johnson 35, wonderful motor. It died in Johannesburg SA in early 80's when a line broke. The Johnson broke too, sad to say. That's the problem with flying over tarmac.

Last Saturday I went to a show here in UK - all RC of course, but it bored me to death, except for the jets. Now, if they'd had some novelty events . . . and C/L combat . . .

Our club used to do an annual show to raise money and we'd have RC, C/L, free flight and novelties like flying lawnmowers or magic carpets.

So this winter it's the Thunderbird, probably with one of my Fox 35's
