At the end of the world
« on: April 24, 2019, 07:38:07 AM »
I started in late 80's when i was 4 y/o. Im from Chile, son of a U/Control devotee, who likes all type of classic and old time stunters, but among all, his beloved nobler. Well, he teach me how to build small FF planes (mostly guillows) from 3 y/o, until at 4 he started to teach me on a .049 Scorpion, a plank sheet wing plane he build on the fifties, powered first by a Space Bug Junior, then a Baby bee. This plane still flight today, i always joke about its more glue than balsa. My old man its 76, but still fly U-Control specially with me and my brother.

Thank you sir. My father enjoy a really good health so i think we will have many more years airmodeling. His mayor trouble is in RC due to his sight; he lands amazingly well as always, but from years to now he lands on the lettuce field more than the airstrip. Otherwise, specially in U/Control, he performs really really good!

At least it is still in one piece.   I have done that many times when I flew RC.  That is why I fly CL now as I know when I land I only have to walk the length of the lines to retrieve the plane. H^^

Sure thing sir, i always play funny jokes on him! He loves U/control way more than RC so hes fine. He always says feedback from the handle is really close to the feedback of the stick in real planes, thing that i actually agree.

Keep the Old Man flying!  Best anti-geriatric sport there is.
