RE: Old enough to remember Pro-Line Radios ?
Yeah, I do. I flew those areas up there with Dave Brown, Don Lowe, Jerry Luke, Alan Dupler, Jim Slater, Mark Radcliff, Hal Parenti, Jimmy Grier, and other's in the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania area. Mike McConville's dad, Jim, was good also, look at what he taught his son. I used World Engine's Expert open gimbal with the black box tx. Never a problem. They were a long time getting there. Dave Brown helped World in the contest arena more then anyone. Tony Frankiowick, (spelled right?), was an asset also.
At a Chardon Ohio contest, rained all morning on first day, Saturday. We hand launched. Gears up, G60 ABC howling, everything wet and muddy, hold right below the stab and under the wing, take a few steps, almost throw it level.
Landing was gear up. Dave always used the Goldberg retracts.
If you are from West Virginia, there was a guy that called for his son from that area, I think Elkins, W Va. his son was very good.
