I started flying control line planes in 1954 when I was 8. At age 14 in 1960 I built and flew a single channel R/C Plane! Very short flight

Back then you even had to build your own transmitter (from kits available) and it and the receiver had tubes in them.
I was bitten and have been flying (off and on), boats, racing cars since 1984, and now learning helicopters. Tough on an old guy
I am sure we will enjoy the board and hope to have our banner up soon.
