It all started when I was about 12 years old, my RC career that is.
I had been building free flight and control line planes for a few years by then and was the master (or so I thought) of the mighty Cox .049 engine. Along with the Baby Ringmasters, Lil Satans and other what not fairly simple kits, I had even built a few of my own balsa slab wing, profile fuse designs. Apparently I had also become addicted to the smell of Aerogloss dope!
My father was an engineer and a full scale pilot and always expected my work to be of engineering quality…
