Re: [RCSE] First Sailplane

[James V. Bacus]

I had some Janco FF model that I built without CA and was covered with 
tissue and dope, and converted to R/C, (Jammed a Kraft 2 channel brick 
into).  I had a little rig that was similar to a F3J handtow device, but it 
didn't have a pulley, just a handle the string fed through.  Learned to fly 
the hard way, by myself, one crash and slow repair at a time.

How many can remember their very first R/C sailplane? Mine was one of the 
first Oly 650's. Wish I still had it for posterity, but elected to fly 
another aircraft while a newbie flew my Oly, bad idea...
