The main concept is to build your own model air crafts and race them or simply play with them on your own. Now, these days the sport/hobby of aeromodelling is slightly better than it used to be. The kind of things that you can make these days is ridiculous. You can literally create your very own model jet if you want to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995636041624077656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513327.post-44025865241685564232008-10-25T10:54:00.000+02:002008-10-25T10:54:00.000+02:00Dear Bob,I read the comments between yourself and ...Dear Bob,<BR/>I read the comments between yourself and Fritz. I was born in 1970, my dad was a teenage aeromodeller flying free flight and control line. In 1972 he took up proportional radio control full time with a '72 series KRAFT. Prior to that he had bought a 10 channel REED set which was cumbersome in comparison to the KPS 11 KRAFT servos, which are now huge compared to today's servos.<BR/>I remember the planes he built for the reed set. When I see Fritz's pictures, it takes me right back!<BR/><BR/>I wanted to talk about something that has benefitted me in my life.<BR/>When I was in boarding school, we had a model club, flying radio conrol and control line from rugby fields and even participating with other schools. Our technical drawing teacher was our Instructor.<BR/>I really wish school kids could embrace aeromodelling in schools again and have inter school competitions. The educational advantage alone is worth the consideration. I pursued mechanical enineering as a career, the knowledge i gained from aeromodelling was priceless in helping me with science and math subjects. I would be very willing to hear comments on this. Thank you and Happy landings!<BR/><BR/>Woody.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284478339207718192noreply@blogger.com
