[NSRCA-discussion] Old farts????:)

[Tommy Scarmardo]

Live Wire Cruiser with a Babcock 3 channel tube receiver (that weighed as much as an anvil)
  dry cell lantern battery, rubber band powered escapements, K&B 0.19 engine . Spend all day at the flying field and maybe get one successful flight. I called it radio interrupted free
   flight. We sure take a lot for granted these days don't we.

  I wonder how many have flown R/O????  Amazing how much fun that was
.$63.00 for my old Ace Pulse Commander purchased from Bill Knost at House of Hobbies in Tulsa.  First a scratch built Javalaero from Ted Strader’s article in MAN
then a Dick’s Dream
which would do a single spiral loop and a half spiral barrel roll with a TD.020
.man you should have seen the first flight when I changed from the pee wee to the TeeDee
not enough downthrust and I was banking like crazy hoping for the fuel to run out
..a different challenge in a different time
.but all was fun, I was about 13.

  Have you flown RC for more than 30 years?? Have you ever looped and rolled an airplane with just rudder control? :-)

    Bob,

     

    What are the qualifications for an old fart?  I just submitted my membership application to AARP this month.  Do I qualify?
