Good job, RB! But what about all the other posts? This was getting interesting and there was lots of good info that I'd hate to lose.

Will this be a separate forum?

I'm still trying to figure out how RC stuff and rockets with classic autos and boats. No idea what happened to the other threads.

Yes, RB - I posted some shots of the Stuka, Kaos, Ugly Sticks, and don't recall what else. Yep, had that Heathkit R/C system as my very first, back when Phil Kraft had just introduced his systems and they were EXPENSIVE!! That old Heathkit worked fine for years and was working when I finally sold most of my stuff off.

'Onward and upward!' is the model airplaner's motto!

I'm trying to track down the location of the missing posts. I suspect they got overlooked in the reorganization so it may take some time to get them back.

Hello all,

Yep, RB, I've been accused of having 'lots of gas' previously!

Thanks to you, I've contacted several local clubs and there are membership openings, so I'll be attending some monthly meetings to introduce myself and get acquainted with the folks. Also found a very local private field that would be about perfect but he likes to limit flying to electric and/or 4-stroke (noise with neighbors) so I may have to be looking hard at those alternatives. I kind of like the 4-stroke idea as the sound is much more realistic especially in and antique biplane configuration.

All in all, the timing couldn't be better as spring is right around the corner and I'll have to hustle to get a plane ready! Should be interesting.

So, who will be the first to provide a video of something flying this spring? I was tempted this past weekend with temps approaching 70º but it was pretty windy and my thumbs are still stiff from lack of use this winter.
