Greetings everyone new to the group

I guess this is the place to start 😊. I’m one of those guys that is always tinkering with something. My dad and uncle got me started in Estes rockets and r/c boats (WOW! R/C sure has changed since the 70’s.). I always thought r/c planes were expensive and heart crushing when you crashed that balsa masterpiece. Then I see Flite Test with FB and technology has caught up in radios and Shazam I’m in. I’m a aircraft technician by trade and this is heaven on earth 😁! I‘ve got it and I’ve got it bad. I like Josh Bixlers approach (find a friend and get them started in). Between Sunday school kids, children and grandchildren the group is never ending. Merry Christmas everyone and I will chat after the Holiday.

Thanks for sharing. We may have similar experiences. I remember pulse proportional, rubber band escapements, silk span and dope. No throttle control; run the engine wide open and make sharp turns to bring her down. Then wait until the fuel tank runs dry and land. And no mufflers. The good old days!
