RE: Do you remember when....
I started C/L in the late 60's. I definitely remember the McCoy redhead engines, Flite Streak airplanes and waiting for the white glue to dry. I could only drool over the Goldberg ads in magazines and the Ranger 42, Skylark and other R/C gems.
I started R/C in the early 80's. My first plane was a Northwest Aerodymanics Trainer .40. The engine was a Picco .45 that had a kick like a mule. My first radio was a Futaba 7-channel "gold box".
Does anyone remember this old equipment and the great old ads?
