I flew lots of Ucontrol as a kid. After I came back from school and

service, my brother and his kids had lived in the house I grew up in. Only

2 engines that were still there was an .049 diesel and a .049 outboard.

Still have them. Should put them on display in the office.


So did I, and I still fly one occasionally. I have a stunt plane (with flaps) with a Fox 35, and have a Brodak copy of a Flight Streak in the bones with a Fox 36X combat engine that I'll finish one day. Also a Wingmaster Jr.. with a Fox 15 on it. Cool stuff, but I get a bit dizzy flying them now. :-)
