Thanks guys,
Michael and I have a good instructor in my brother-in-law who has been allowing us to fly the heck out of his CG 1/5 Cub on a buddy box until I finish our model. I had been flying an RTF electric powered polyhedral sailplane which my instructor told me to quit flying so I could concentrate on powered model techniques.
Michael is doing eights, box patterns and loops and rolls, climb-outs and low approaches, too. I have been landing so am to solo soon.
Electric models seem great for the school yard and parks and I'm going to have a couple for just that reason, too. The more flying the better.
Our club wants to put in some C/L circles so we can fly everything at our field, most older guys have flown C/L it seems and they too have a model or two hanging in the garage. Not much has changed in some ways in C/L, but the new stuff is, just like in R/C, so much better. My CLPA model in the picture has an all adjustable control system, a Nelson based FIRE custom C/L .61 on a CF tuned pipe made to control the speed to the optimum 55 mph and a CF prop. Michael likes Scale, and he says he'll still fly C/L Scale because he likes the models. His P-38 he built himself and is powered by Norvel 049 R/C's with an old three line JRoberts bellcrank. it's for competition.
He wants a Spitfire R/C model.

I going to do a few things on the RCM Trainer, see ya...
