Yes, me R/C too!. .. .Not had time to use them for some years now but with teenaged son showing an interest I may be obliged to dust them off soon.... .. .Got a glider (Breguet Fauvette, semi scale, V-tail, v.fast slope soarer, whistles as it goes by).. .. .Also a 25 yr old fibreglass fuselage trainer, unfortunately no wing now available since the missus allowed a table top to fall against it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> , I must repair it one day.. .. .With regard to the laterally inverted controls with the aircraft coming towards the "pilot", the best way to learn is to learn to drive a R/C car first, same problem, but brakes and slower crashes make it less expensive and seldom terminal.. .. .Also have 3 control liners (2 unfinished including one made from remains of the trainer's squashed wing). The oldest one, a small flying wing, is almost 30 years old and still flyable.. . . . <small>[ 09 March 2002, 22:29: Message edited by: ShyTorque ]</small>
