I still have a few hanging in the garage, one of my all time favorites was a profile hots with an asp 40. Flew it for years. My suburban had lots of tiny paint peel spots from doing touch and goes off the roof.

Favorite all around sport planes were by far the Four Star 40 and Super Sportster 40. But I could enjoy pretty much anything

I have a Dave Patrick 120 size Ultimate with a Webra 1.20 that is a hoot. I've had it out on a permanent loan for about three years though. Best time ever though was when a few of us would chase each others plane around in a semi-pylon race pattern. Super Sportster 40s and Goldberg Tiger 2 ARFs.

This looks like the Old Aeropro Laser. I loved mine.

Good old fashion G-62 with Bill Cunningham Electronic Ignition. Great scale aerobatic (pattern). We didn't know what 3D was.

Man....this thread has me digging into the old pics. Good memories.

Man that brings back memories of great times and great friends!

I see people now who have no clue about setting up servos and throws mechanically. And repairing an airframe is a no-brainer if you know how to build one, but today if a wing is not available on the internet, in the right color, after a bad landing the plane is garbage.



Other people's garbage has many times been my next arf.

This is so true of a lot of the youngsters getting into the hobby now days. It is actually really cool when you have a kid with a plane that isn't running right and you go over make an adjustment or two and explain why, how and what you did and you see the light start to shine a little brighter

That's another badass looking plane. Another that would be badass scaled up to a 60-100cc size with modern equipment and construction.
