No, not really. Still interested, but no way I have the time any more. And I can't stand the 3-d electric stuff. Give me a glow .60 with a tuned pipe, and a fast groovy-flying airplane, and I might reconsider. Not much of that around any longer.

@boulderdsvo I remember seminole valley. We have a new field now. Still flying today?

[boulderdsvo]

Yeah, I grew up in CR. My dad and I were Skyhawks members, between about 1975 and 1981. We had a great field at Seminole Valley Park. Wendell was one of our instructors, as was Dale Fry, and a few others I can't remember right now.

@boulderdsvo Did you live in Cedar Rapids? I'm in the Cedar Rapids skyhawks with Wendell, great pilot, and great instructor.

The mustangs would have to be pretty small, to be scale with these. BTW, Wendell was one of my RC instructors MANY years ago, when I was a teenager.

it would have been awesome if there was a couple of p-51 mustangs flying with the b-17
