When I got into RC, my Cousin stopped by the house to use an extension ladder to get his trainer out of a tree. I drove my truck to the field and let him use the ladder. I didn't know about the RC field before that. We stayed there for a little while and watched the others flying around.

Since his plane was an ARF I helped him to repair it, he crashed it before and paid one of the other guys to fix it for him.

I went out the next day and got the Eagle 2 kit and some CA, had it built in a week, then went out and got the engine and radio. This was around 1991
