Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / April 2008Question to the group
I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the distant past. I've already had my 60th b-day, and the control line days were in my early teens. Is there a news group, discussion board, or magazine that is more related to stick building, instead of ARF, or RTF? Seems that every magazine or web-site I find is mostly all ARF and such. I don't have anything against ARF or RTF, but I would rather build. Thanks, George > I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the > distant past.

Where will it all end! ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** >> I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the >> distant past.

So post your comments and questions. You will also find lots of people on www.rcgroups.com and www.rcuniverse.com that do both arfs and build from kits and scratch build. Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge: > I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the > distant past.

Model Aviation tries, but FM is the real deal.  SignatureTim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software? "Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says. See details at http://www.wescottdesign.com/actfes/actfes.html >> I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the >> distant past.

Plenty of sticks in scale models of WWI planes. > I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the > distant past.

And the builders workshop forum There are others, but I dont know them that well. >> I am a newcomer to RC, having grown up with control line back in the >> distant past.

Apparently I was just looking in the wrong places. Thanks, George > ... and look in the vintage ...

I'm 81, I asked the same question, and was led by this group to a few kits...I selected a recommendation called the SIG KADET SENIORITA. There's a SENOR, but it's a bit out of my league right now. I bought the Seniorita for 59.99+shipping at Hobby Lobby....all old fashion kit with a box of pre cut wood, plans, etc. Almost nothing done for you. That's what I want!! Stay with this group, George, you'll never find a nicer bunch of guys eager to help and they sure are helping me!! m c o s i t a 9 @ e a r t h l i n k . n et Good luck! Mike |
