[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 461249, member: 21536"] I've never flown an RC plane but it is appealing. I would probably enjoy building the planes more than flying them. When I was a kid we flew planes in a circle on control strings. I remember the Cox 049 engine with this kind of spring windup thing to kick the prop around to get it started. The airplane was a "trainer", meaning the wings were held on with rubber bands so when you crashed you could put it back together. That way you could keep on going until you got so dizzy you puked. Yep, them were the days. [/QUOTE]
