I just want to introduce my self here on StuntHangar.
My name is Joseph Migliaccio (AKA Joe Mig) it is a lot easier to say.
My Dad use to take me to Forest Park flying field in Queens NY when I was around 8 to 9 years old and I flew mostly 1/2 A planes and a trainer ugly stick with a Fox 15, while my brother and Father flew larger 29's and 35'S .
Well I have been out of the circle for the last 36 years and I was thinking I would like to fly U control with the kids or at least my son Lil Joe. So I built up a kit and used one of my old Cox .049's and took the kids to the flying field and after a slight crash on take off I had a 22 lap flight.
Yes I got slightly dizzy but I loved it. n~
So now a few weeks later, well you will see some other post's here soon.

Joe:
Welcome back! Neat fun, isn't it?
Just so you'll know, I've been flying CL, off-and-on, since 1950. Last week I flew for the first time in several months......and got dizzy! (But then, I'm 70 years old.)
Stick with it, pal.
-
I think I like to get dizzy .
Well thank's I'm stuck now. :o
-
Joe,

From one retread to another . . . Welcome back! After a layoff of 35 or so years, I'm back in the circle and having a ball. Get those kids involved, it's a great hobby for them.

I own a ton of R/C equipment, several operable R/C planes, and fly C/L. What does that say?

Hey Joe; Glad to hear you are back flying again. This site is a great place to come after a long day of flying. Since I live in an area where I am the only control line flyer for at least 80 miles, these forums are like a club to me. I have met many of the people on here in person at VSC and other contest's around the country. I came back to control line about 18 years ago, after flying R/C pattern for 25 years. I still fly a little R/C, but after flying control line again, I get a little bored with R/C. There just isn't anything like it. Sounds like you have some great people to fly with.
