Hi Detent. .. .Glad to see the thread. I’m in the process of teaching myself RC flying and find it very satisfying (and difficult). Very much at the beginner stage. Started with a bungee launched Windstar, got fed up with the launching method, which was very constrained by wind direction, as my strip was very narrow. Went to a Winstar EP so could now cope with any wind direction, graduated to the sand at low tide, then added wheels to teach myself decent landings and touch and goes. Feel nearly ready to have a go at building an EP vintage type Junior 60. Control all so much harder than when sitting in the thing though.. .. .50 years ago I used IC for free flight but am now totally sold on the quiet clean simple switch on and go of electrics. !
