Default RE: ? Your first RC plane

Hey Bob, before I got into RC, I turned a Falcoln 56 into a control line plane! With I still had that one too.
ORIGINAL: Bob Paris

Ok...guys...
I may be showing my age...but I learned to fly on two aircraft. Andrews H-Ray...and the Falcon 56. I used an old Kraft 1969 four channel radio with KPS-12 servo's...and I would say that these two models were the main stay of the hobby in the late 60's and early 70's. I used Super Tiger .23's on the H-Ray, and a K&B .40 on the Falcon 56. Neigher engine had a muffler...and none were required or availiable in those day's. Both models in time were past on to my flying buddies...accept the Falcon 56...that one I crashed. But I've built many over the years...and still feel it is a great model today.
Soft landings always,
Bobby of Maui
