I remember going to my first rc field, at a SIG event in Montezuma Iowa, and barely being able to see over the top wing of a biplane model.. If only it hadn't been windy!!! I can't recall anyone flying in the short time we were there! I wish I had a dollar for every balsa glider I bought, its a wonder there is any balsa left in the world, those gliders used to be everywhere it seemed.
