I can honestly say I haven't thought about ½A control line flying for over half a century, even though that's what my first flying model was. (A Jim Walker Firebaby, powered by a Wasp .049!)

Now it occurs to me that I have a grandson about the same age that I was when my Firebaby first took to the air. It may be time to become an instructor pilot.

Thanks for the post and the memories!
