OK Hoss I would have to guess that you took the 3 day holiday not to be commenting on this mess until today.

Let's not go back to the License thing again. You and I both know that the only license we EVER needed to fly R/C was in the 60's and before, when we had a FCC License to operate our radios. I stll have mine somewhere and it is good for 10 transmitters. As you will probably recall the single application for the FCC License was for Class C and D, and when the Breaker-Breaker CB crowd hit the airwaves they elminated the license because they, the FCC, were being flooded buy the CBers with applications that just overwhelmed them.

Also, our buddy Baxter tried to charge a fee to teach someone how to fly at Scobe, did't work. FYI-The guy that taught Baxter how to fly was Jerry Bills (non deceased) and Jerry went to Baxter one day and demanded Baxter pay him $1,000.00, he taught Baxter to fly so what was good for one was good for the other. It was all done in jest, but Baxter go the hint.

The whole thing was mute as the county forbid any form of profit-making enterprise and that was strictly enforced. That and a guy by the name of Dean who would teach for free pretty well sank Baxter's ship. Truth be known, Baxter had his hands full keeping his own airplanes in the air, he was at best an adequate pilot having to do with the fact he only bought used equipement for cheap and it wasen't until he bought out Paul King's shop and moved it to Westheimer that he actually owned a new radio. I feel safe in making this statement as mentioned Baxter and I were great friends and I would bust his hump, in a nice way, every chance I got about his radios.

One day I stopped in his shop on Westheimer and gave him a 10 channel 'reed' radio and suggested it would improve his flying, we both had a good laugh, I miss Baxter.

Glad to have you back.
