Boy do I feel old.  How many of you remember a glider called the American 
Eagle by J & J Industries?  It was one of the first gliders I built.  I 
guess it was around the early 70's.  I can kick myself for selling it off 
about 20 years ago.  As a senior in high school I was a proud owner of a 
Hobie Hawk.  I had a blast with that plane.  I can also remember bashing an 
Astro Flight Monterey by adding Aquila wings on it.  Yes, it was my first 
competition ship and I did well with it..... BTW, that plane found its way 
into a pond due to radio failure during a contest in York, PA during the 
late 70's.  Does time fly..... ;)

I was about 11 or 12 in the early 70's when I got that radio, I just turned 
40 in December.  I still have the TX but the brick soared away in a
Windfree...  that was a bummer for me at the time.
