@SuperPianowizard You're totally right mate, I used to hide the fact I was into model planes, but I don't now, I get loads of stick of people at work for my 'geeky' hobby, but I don't care anymore, I enjoy it and thats all that matters.
@bankslord Sorry to taking for ever to respond, i have a new account.. XtremeRCTV anway.. i totally agree i can't be bothered to deny it anymore, its just to much fun!
@SuperPianowizard I was thinking about it recently and its funny. All the people who take the mick all play xbox or playstation, which to me is just the same as RC (just not as involved or as skilled!) - a simulation of the real thing. They still don't get it though, although with all their questions 'how much does it cost?' 'how easy is it?' 'where do you fly them?' ....I have a feeling they want to have a go themselves but think its not 'cool' enough....unlike modern warfare 3.....
@bankslord I know... Everyone seems to be going crazy over Xbox and the new Modern warfare 3... It takes one person to say, "oh thats weird" and then everyone else follows... half of the people that play Xbox only do it because their mate does... If people just had a go at flying model planes i'm sure they'll realise how much fun it is being outside, socializing with friends and flying at the same time.. People don't know what they are missing.... on the upside adleast more flying time for us :P
Wow....what memories. I used to fly back in the 1960s and was big into U-Control and a little free flight. R/C back then was outrageously expensive and touchy. I had a Controlaire single channel setup and it was a iffy proposition to be sure. Never sure if the plane would crash or not. At the very end of the video, I saw a Sterling R/C aircraft that I remember being available as a kit...............we have advanced so much in the decades since. I'm now learning to fly a T-28 Parkzone foamie.....
where in the bible did Jesus claim to be god? where in the bible did Jesus ask to be worshipped? Where did Jesus say I am god manifested in flesh? where did Jesus mention the original sin?? where did Jesus say I am the god the son? and god the word? where Jesus say I am the second god in trinity? ISLAM IS GOD TRUE RELIGION
Hahaa, I can't imagine doing some of that. Spend 4 months building a big wooden model airplane, only to fire up that little petrol engine, let the whole thing go, and wonder if you'd ever see any of it in once piece again. And did anyone else see that kid catch the model right out of the air!? Hahaa, crazy stuff!
@lay3Rv2 Really cheap compared to what it used to be. I bought a World Engines 3 channel radio control set back in about 1971. It only came with on servo. Cost me $138.00. That is equivalent to over $700.00 today. That and I had to buy two more servos to get it working. Bought the servos for $40.00 each. They came as a kit. Had to assemble the circuit board and solder it together. Total cost, in todays dollars, was over $1100.00. Then I needed a plane and engine.
As an example of how knowledge not used is knowledge lost, I kept saying, "Back in the 80s, when I was into Old Timers, I could name most of the models in that video. Or what model the builder ripped off the design from. :D
My kind? A child is what I was. My parents couldnt afford this hobby for a child to go out and wreck. Now I am grown and I have a job and my own place. I wasnt on the sidelines by choice.
Radlett model air shows - I was there! short trousers etc - built and flew models for nearly 50 years afterwards - great posting subject - many thanks
This compilation of films is very nostalgic. We used to be treated to films like this in the school aeromodeling club back in the 60's. Thanks for posting.
Ahhh, those were the days when men were men, models were models,summers were summers and the " lets ban it " health and safety heirachy were unheard of.
The English language has been bastardized for expediency' sake. Why bother to speak concise English, when a few smiley faces and other symbols hastily typed, convey what you mean. Before long, kids won't know how to write. More's the pity. Society is dumbing down, that is certain.
Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
Ignorance at it's best. If we all thought like you, we would still be flying the planes in this awesome video.
Your biblical babble aside, I am in total agreement. Ignorance is as pervasive in the world now as it was before the advent of free public education. The reason? Technology has reduced the need for constructive thought. The best of both worlds would be a literate and technologically-savvy society. I choose to be one of those. As we become less erudite, society becomes less civil. In other words, we do not progress, but regress. I would love to be flying those planes, by the way. Cheers
You missed the point as I knew you would. The "biblical babble" was quoted to show you that your comments on today's society could have been said equally so for the society that existed during the filming of this video. The language used in this video is just as much chopped up as the language is today. Hence ignorance.
Oh, and BTW, nothing ever changes, it is always the same. The issues we face today, are exactly the same in principal as the ones you faced.
Also why cant they employ announcers who have proper diction like they used to? You try to and talk like that for more than a couple of minutes and I bet your jaws will ache, for example what is elarstic (3.27)????? Everything about todays TV and information news has gone to pot! This sort of reportage is from when broadcasters used to care about what we wanted to see and not about the money/cutbacks etc etc ....rant rant rant I know!
im sure they would've never imagined a radio that was immune to interference. besides, back then, there was almost no such thing as radio control planes at all! most of them were control line.
I remember when I was a kid visiting the hobby store to buy my monthly stick and tissue model and I could only dream of owning the RC models that were displayed there. The prices of radio sets and other essentials were well out of the reach of most working folks. It was the sport of kings, so to speak. The hobby has come a long way since then.
i must say being in aeromodelling now for 15years, its really nice to see where it all started..great video guys.. from the south african modelling association.
what are those 1 or 2 channel radios. i got a book from way back building those things, ug, their most sophisticated model at the end of the book is radio controled with a one channel radio
Thats right! I used to use a 7 channel reed/relay transmitter with rubber band/clockwork escapements in the model, all functions controlled by on/off switches, (no digital proportional then). Its like using 7 single channel radios at the same time. I think the Japanese guy shown here was using a multi reed unit.Showing my age now!
Nice transition from the jacket-and necktie crowd with odd-looking free-flight airplanes all the way to golf shirts and off-the-shelf radio control! Another good one, Bomberguy.
i think in that time was more serious than now... i mean, you can buy pre-builded "toys" that the people think they are "model planes".... in my opinion, nothing is compare to build your own plane, starting from wood pieces...
I'm not so old, but I LOVE IT !!! They were the real guys and women. Much better than the stupid video's we're getting today... nerds on a bike, stars in Ferrari's, all a great mess, disaster, death and above all... disrespect for the common people.
What a wondeful video. Thanks again Bomberguy. Pity that the commentator didn't realize that the 'Dambuster Lancaster' was in fact a Lincoln. And the pronounciation of 'Ee..laaah..stic' is a real scream. What a treat.
Take a good look at the nose at 4.53 and you'll clearly see what it is ! There was a photo of this model in Aeromodeller with description at the time.
I play slot cars, but I totally "get" the whole model aeroplane thing.
I've flown virtual aircraft in games, so I'd like to have a go @ the "real" thing. It's just a little bit out of my price range ATM.

I'm not so old, but I LOVE IT !!! They were the real guys and women. Much better than the stupid video's we're getting today... nerds on a bike, stars in Ferrari's, all a great mess, disaster, death and above all... disrespect for the common people.

What a wondeful video. Thanks again Bomberguy. Pity that the commentator didn't realize that the 'Dambuster Lancaster' was in fact a Lincoln. And the pronounciation of 'Ee..laaah..stic' is a real scream. What a treat.

Looks like a late spec Lanc rather than a Lincoln , one of the ones used for aerial mapping etc for private companies

Take a good look at the nose at 4.53 and you'll clearly see what it is ! There was a photo of this model in Aeromodeller with description at the time.
