I flew control line as a kid, picked it up again for a little while about 10 years ago. Had a huge crash and couldn't find the time to build a new plane.
Found FT recently, the planning and process behind their builds intrigued me. I tried a scratch build mini sparrow (first attempt never got past cutting foamboard- total disaster). So I bought a couple of Mini Sparrow kits and am building them as chuck gliders with my boys.
RC is definitely in the future, but I am not sure whether I want to go for the Tiny Trainer, or the Simple Cub (3 ch setup) first.
Since we don't have any equipment yet, I"ll probably begin with a starter kit. Eventually I'll need two radio setups, but I don't want to go too extravagant until I know for sure the boys are going to take to it.
Thoughts and suggestions?
