Default My first "real" motor....

....was a K&B Stallion .35 control-liner....'69....

(early plastic Testors planes w/.049's notwithstanding) ,
I guess there was a reason for calling them "Testors"...

....anyhoozle, a friend had built a "Nobler" CL'er, and
had never flown it. A couple guys and myself decided it
was time to jump into model airplanes....big time...and
my friend gave me the brand new Stallion....$9.95 at the
time. I went down to the LHS and bought a Cosmic Wind
profiler.

It was a great plane, and flew well...many, many times...
until I balled-up for the inverted flight.... ....
....heh heh heh....

....3 or four laps inverted ....gettin'dizzy....disoriented...
pulled "up" (expecting up)....Splinter City....oh well, live
and learn. Needless to say....I didn't give up....

BTW....my friends name is Bill Evans....from the "mighty
890"....I've been searching for him for about 10 years....

....I hope he somehow see's this....

Dave.
