Hey Kenneth, I enjoyed your input, Thanks!......It seems like only yesterday looking through my local hobby shop in Northwest Indiana. It was the early 70's and control line flying seemed to be in full swing! I was the youngest members of a fantastic flying club, that I joined with my uncle. Sure there were guys that flew RC, but at that time I remember things being very different. While in the club I flew FF, CL, sail planes ( basically anything that would be made of balsa and would fly!). I think it was the engines that really fascinated me. Before joining the clyb, My Dad bought me the Cox ready to fly Fokker from JC Penney. Which I had no success flying whatsoever! After it was in too many pieces to salvage, I used the cox 049 from it and set out to build a kit. I ended up with a profile p-40 (sheet balsa wing) I remember as a kid being intimidated by a built-up wing, so avoided the kits with built -up wings. I built several of the Sterling Beginners series models before the Carl Goldberg shoestring stunter, using Carl Goldbergs "Symmet-Tru wing construction method. In the 90's, after a break from building and flying, I was 10 years into a career in the Navy. At that time I purchased some new radio gear fron Americas Hobby Center in New york. I have a Grandson that is 8, and Im trying to get him interested in bulding and flying. I thought some of these profile/sheet basa beginner series would be a great starting point for him and tons of great old memories for me. Im semi-retired at this point and have been working part time at my local hobby shop. Was cool to hear from you Kenneth! Any templates (any company) you could scrounge up would be put to good use!....feel free to contact me in the future.
