Noticed two things in this month's issue.<BR>
<BR>
1- A great shot of our own Jeremy Chinn's "Kudzu" in the Nats photo section<BR>
<BR>
2- The back cover ad from Horizon for a control line plane! One of the ad's sales points<BR>
is "remember the days of control line in schoolyards". I can remember in the late '50s when <BR>
I was in grade school my Dad taking me up to my school's playground to teach me to <BR>
fly. He had been an active control line flyer when I was a really little guy...ignition...I still have<BR>
some of his engines, control handle, etc. Anyway, I had absolutely no "feel" for it. He would start it while<BR>
I was out in the center of the circle with the handle. He would release the plane when I was ready and <BR>
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 <BR>
Cox control line circle at Disneyland. I think it was 1960. There is some 8mm movie film my Dad took of<BR>
me that I watched at my mother's about two years ago or so when she passed away. The ad is right...<BR>
It does bring back memories...<BR>
