[RCSE] The good ol' days.

2000-02-23 Thread Bill Swingle

  I have several NIB HiTec receivers.

The above statement really reminded me what it was like when I started in
modeling. 

Remember the day when you only had ONE receiver and ONE airplane? Then you got
a SECOND airplane and had to swap receivers! Ahhh, the good ol' days. May they
never return! Man did I hate receiver swapping.

I remember.  Good ol' Kraft and noisy glow planes.  I owned an R/C plane
before I could drive.  Heck, I think my first kiss was with that old Sig
Kadet.

Geez,

When I started out in college flying TD gliders (built up puppies mind you) I had to 
swap out batteries, servos and receivers!  And that was just a few years ago.  Money 
was always (and now quite a bit) tight.  I have now given in to my addiction and have 
5 fully built and ready to go airplanes with all their own gear.

[RCSE] The good ol' days.

Bill,

I remember installing a servo tray which slid in a groove in both my
Graupner Cirrus and my old Slope Windward.  I had to switch both the Rx and
servos,  Thermal flying in the AM, and slope flying in the PM.  Now I have
alot of old servos and thank goodness I can still use them in planes.  When
I took my Hobie Hawk out to fly in a RE contest, the old folks said, WOW you
are even flying old Kraft servos!  Still looking for KPS12 and KPS18 gears
to keep them running.  My old KPS12s saw me through ALOT of flying as well
as the  8 hour LSF slope flight.  Kinda don't want to retire them as they
are so faithful to me.  I still have my old wideband Kraft 3 channel with
Rx, as well as my first single channel galloping ghost rx with Controllaire
TX.  Not much in the case then as compared to nowadays.

Thermals,

Chris Adams
