I remember when the average age of control line pilots was under 70. I remember a Testors plastic Fokker that I got for Christmas that I started outside my sister's window at every opportunity to get back at her. I had "rebuilt" the engine so many times that by spring the cylinderhead threads were stripped and she never had a chance to fly.

I also remember the first RC plane I ever saw. It was a highstart launched glider. $69 in the Sears "Wishbook" catalog in the mid to late $70's. Does Sears still do a catalog?
