Hello all
I got my start when my dad bought me a plastic cox mustang model for Christmas back in the early seventies. As I recall it was not the best flying thing and after crashing it started our journey into control line planes.  Our first plane was a ringmaster beginner. Like many I am getting back into the hobby after 35+ years.

I have a 10 year old son who is interested in flying so i will be introducing him to the hobby this spring as well.
i am jumping back in with both feet! already joined the AMA and are in the process of building a Brodack p-51 trainer with my son. I am also laser cutting a couple simple trainers to get us going. Hope to be flying in a couple weeks.


i kept our old flight box. i dug it out the other night and was excited to see there was a black widow, golden bee and a fox 36x in it!

Wow, Roger, that's quite a fleet. I'm glad to see you made your way over here to Stunthangar. Looking forward to some flight reports.
