Hi All,

For me the first ARF that I remember was the Carl Goldberg all foam Cardinal that flew with a .o49 to .15 I think that model predates the Lanier kits although not by much. We use to refer to the Lanier ARF's as "Rubber Ducks" due to their plastic construction.

That poor little foamy Cardinal took allot of beating as we learned to fly and flnally was retired to the trash due to being more 30minute epoxy than foam(5min epoxy hadn't been widely available yet). It was more of an interupted free flight than radio control but it taught us the basics.

The little Electric Super Cub from Horizon is currently about the closest thing to that Goldberg Cardinal now.

Ah the good ol' days
