[NSRCA-discussion] FW: November Model Aviation

[Richard Strickland]

I remember going to City Park, KCKS in the late '50s and asking a guy at a circle how much his, I think, scale P-40 was--and he said 100 dollars.  I'm sure the look on my face was the same as when we reply 3 grand plus to folks who ask how much ours are now...   "Really??!!"  EVERYONE gulped not too long ago when one of the jet guy's 16K model went in, burned with nothing salvageable.RS

Noticed two things in this month's issue. 1- A great shot of our own Jeremy Chinn's "Kudzu" in the Nats photo section 2- The back cover ad from Horizon for a control line plane!  One of the ad's sales pointsis "remember the days of control line in schoolyards".  I can remember in the late '50s when I was in grade school my Dad taking me up to my school's playground to teach me to fly.  He had been an active control line flyer when I was a really little guy...ignition...I still havesome of his engines, control handle, etc.  Anyway, I had absolutely no "feel" for it.  He would start it whileI was out in the center of the circle with the handle.  He would release the plane when I was ready and run as fast as he could for me to try to coach me.  He never made it... :-(  A few years later I flew at the Cox control line circle at Disneyland.  I think it was 1960.  There is some 8mm movie film my Dad took ofme that I watched at my mother's about two years ago or so when she passed away.  The ad is right...It does bring back memories...JLK_______________________________________________NSRCA-discussion mailing listNSRCA-discussion at lists.nsrca.orghttp://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion
