I started flying R/C last summer and love the older ships. They are a bit small, but I'm just going to have to try them for a year or two.

I bought a new kit of an old design, a T2A MkII from Carolina Custom which is a little pricy but at least it's glass and pre-sheeted foam wings so I can get it flying quickly. I have waited 35 years to have my own pattern ships and I'm not collecting collectors kits to do it. I want to fly.

I have an Antique Pattern ship (Hester King Cobra), a SPA Pattern ship (ARF Kaos) and a BPA Pattern ship (Tiporare). Each is still on the bench, but I'm sure ready to fly them and wish and hope that more guys in my neck of the woods would/are going to fly them this season.

My 12 year old likes my Kaos, and if he and RCPilot can get turned on by the oldies, Ed, we should have continued participation.
