Started Control LIne with my older brothers back in early 60's ... then when they left me behind - I had to find another way and RC was the answer ... but it was early days of reliable gear and was not till about 1970 that reliable gear got in my hands ! Till then I spent more time on the ground trying to get Radio to work !!
Flew with Futaba mainly but then paid out a Kings Ransom for a JR Propo which took me through Scale, Aerobatic, all sorts of competitions ... It flew Heli's, Slopers, Thermal, Power ... you name it ... it flew it !! I did at one time fly unofficially for JR via McGregor Radio UK ...
Today I still have my old radios ... sit on the bench now as Ornaments reminding of those days ... but of course now I use digital 2.4Ghz gear that just blows the mind !
Today I fly just about anything .... from tiny palm sized quads up to moderately large gasoline powered stuff ...

Float planes .. quads ... 3D .... aerobatics .. scale ... its all there ... even some old 1980's cines of Shows and Events I was in ...
