Most of you think Im new to the rc world and a new member.In a way I am a new member,but when did my interest in rc happen.?
Who remembers the flying lawn mower and the person who flew it.( I DO ).
Most of you do not remember me but some of you I do.
HOW- well I started going to watch the flying when the site was on Deakle Rd.
I haven't forgotten those days. :woohoo:

Well, you sure do go back.
I was there and remember all those times and helping Art with his Flying Lawnmower and the Real People tv show filming us flying the mower.

Too bad Deakle Road was not paved back then as nice as it is now. Was about some of the worst washboard in wet or dry weather.

We talking back in mid 70s - mid 80s.

Did you do are start learning any flying back then?

Art Conner was his name. He comes in my automotive shop from time to time real nice guy. back in the days I would go to his house and buy parts for my boat and my airplanes. :yes:

I tried to fly after I saw you guy's at the field on Deakle Rd. Alvin . My brother went and bought the first rc plane and we tried to fly it in a field down from my house.NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.I still have that little plane in my shop.
It was a cessna from cox hobbies and had a 049 engine,hitec radio.Yes that road was a nightmare back then. :yickes:

HEY my birthday is in a week .Think Rob will bring me a present from HTUSA. <_< :D :hysterical: :woohoo: :itsok:

I think we are the only ones who remember that.

:yes: :itsok: i remember that road well.after all i lived on the stupped road till i was 10 years old :embarrassed: i was a pain in the a** for alvin &art :woohoo: :woohoo: started going to the gcrc club when i was still in dippers :embarrassed: but i moved to irvington at age 10. they loved me so much the club moved to irvington to,about a 1\8 mile from my house. alvin said the club just was'nt the same without me, :dontknow: i;ve got nothing but good memories from those days so long ago. :yes: :no: :dontknow:

:crying: :hammerhead: ;)

Elton was a nice kid to have around, one of the bestest crashed airplane finders I have ever seen.
Still in his dippers, Elton came to field and had a hamburger in his hand with a couple of bites taken out, I said "hey boy, give me a bite of that hamburger", Elton said "no no not geting any of this hamburger", but being an acomidating little kid even at that age, he said "I will go home and get mama to make you one".
I thought that was just too cute. :lol:
