Default RE: Plastic compatible with nitro

Oh Man, are we walking back down the path. I love this stuff. I made the big old crystall radios on the oat meal box coilforms and the big slider to "tune" them I collected junk radios from where ever I coulld find them to tear apart the transformers to get the wire to wind the "coils" for these raidos. The big issue was that where I grew up, there were a number of radio stations and it was all but impossible to tune into just one. I went down to southern Ill. to my aunt's house for a couple weeks one summer and they only had one station that my radio could receive. I had never heard just one station before.

Fun days and a walk back to the early days. I wonder how many guys today know what A, B and C batteries are. that used to be common knowledge for earlyRC flyers. Rechargable batteries, years and years down the line.

Boy, this thread came a long ways from fuel line didn't it?
