They just passed a rule to allow 2.4 radios, which will make gizmo options child's play.

Now we see proposals for a 2-line scale event with NO options - not even throttles.

Strange. Veryvery strange.

   Just because it's there does not mean you have to use it. Three line has work for years and will continue to be a competitive set up for years to come.
A B-17, or B-36 looks impressive but it dose not mean it is better than a SE-5A or a P-51 Mustang.
I,m going to keep going on till you guys run out of reasons why you can't fly with us.

I like the flying end of scale and would hate to see it eliminated. It seems to me that the whole purpose is to build a plane that is a miniature of the real thing and fly it realistically.

But then I also like 2.4Ghz and electric motors

Bill; Try this, get a profile anything 15,35, what ever put a JR three line bellcrank in it and a RC engine and play with it. It is fun just to taxi and do touch-and-go'es. Then take the next step..................The documentation for scale is not that bad once you do it for the first time. We all would help anyone on that part.

Okay Rigotti, that does it.  Next time we meet I'm gonna pour something nasty in your electrons.

Hi Brother Allen,

I have exactly what you are talking about.  I have a Dumas Crusader which is getting repaired and has a Roberts 3 line system.  There is no covering on the wing, but that will be fixed.  I also have the Roberts handle and a set of matched 3 lines.  I will be making my first flights while I come back using this model.  I can chop the throttle and come down if things go bad with me. 

I have a simple Sterling Great Lakes Trainer that is well under construction.  I will not be painting it until I have the pictures to back it up.

Next step??

Bill,

Bob's Aircraft Documentation has more than a dozen photo packages (many different prints in each package), different paint schemes of the Great Lakes Trainer.  These are all color.  Taken for use by modelers for color documentation.  Not cheap, but still a good value. Worth looking at.  Bob Banka will be glad to talk to you and help you with what you are looking for.
