Excellent race! Thanks for coming out this weekend to race!

I would have loved to be around than.I was born in 1966 and have been flying R/C and full scale ever since.

Reminds me of dads try squire ...with mccoy engines... All built unlike todays modern arfs..owner operator

Ive seen more pattern planes..back then..compared to todays sport/ fun fly type ...except arabatic planes flown ultimate bipe extra 300 etc etc

Although dad's viscount was state of the art back then as pattern plane..with disc brakes controlled off of down elevator heath kit put out in late 1970 single stick transmitter ..had kraft radio but exspensive...

Oh yeah. The days of rubber bands on wing to hold in place the days when new bees came to field with transmitter on & disrupting your planes ability to control your plane in air pulse single chanel rudder only on poly die hederial in wings...this goes back way back to 1960..

Why not an end mill instead just curious, or is it a nostalgia thing?

Never thought of mounting the cutting tool like that, great idea!

Really cool planes :) I live near RC-plane field in the 90`s and i spent hours watching the planes fly :) Good times, i had RC-cars back then, Tamiyas and stuff.

Can't believe some of the landings those planes could take without breaking...!

Thank you

Wow! Able to maintain control with all that flak coming at them.

... Thanks for posting - Dad was a top drawer enthusiast and private pilot. Had a dedicated upstairs Bedroom for his RC model aircraft construction in the early '60's. The "Dope" smell was flipping strong and drove my Mum nuts. Broke my heart when one of his planes were crash damaged but He and his Bud's motored one. Great memories growing up then ...

Models weighed more back then so could fly in wind better. I still build and fly those designs. And on 72.

In these vintage videos when you see a man with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth while working on the planes and flying you know he has experience

What beautiful movie from the past! I really enjoy it! Greetings from the Netherlands !🇳🇱

This was one tricky day! Great drive

I miss those days and can smell the hot castor oil, summers filled with building and flying and those Hobby shop visits where you could dream!

Nice video! I see happy people there :-)

Great work Mike! Thank you for posting.

Thank you so much for the heads up driving and not hitting me> so much fun racing with you.

Nice video. Great driving to avoid that spin out!! Dean

Precioso video donde podemos apreciar la construccion y modo de volar de otras epocas

Man it's windy. And fly,n on those old radios.

Nice! What a cool old video. Thanks for posting it for all too see.

D4, think abt chattin with 79, 25 at the next events. maybe pool together your on car, track map vids together for different angles, sounds etc. I'm gonna mention it to Pete U (25) esp since he's in so much of this

Takes me back to some very happy days spent with my late dad. We started with free flight then to RC, our first was McGregor single channel with an Elmic actuator, we then moved on to a home built ten channel set followed by an RCS ten channel system before moving on to proportional , we had another RCS system then a Sprengbrook, the last set we had was a Funabashi proportional. One of the nicest planes to fly was the Veron Concord followed closely by an Uproar though was brought up on the KK Super 60. Happy days and happy memories

:)

great video...thanks for sharing.....I grew up in the late 50's watching my father build and fly many of early RC planes......once he built a beautiful airplane, we all went out to the local flying field and my uncle hand launched it.....it flew straight and level.....only problem was , my uncle forgot to turn the receiver switch on.......with a full tank of fuel, it flew out of sight and was never found....sad knowing how much work went into building each of those early balsa, silk and dope covered models.............

You are a stud to make your first run a new car that is an open car on a wet track!

Great driving Mike! Thank you for always posting. Miss being there ! Thank you!

Those FP midgets seem to be awfully fast! I have an issue with them in my new association as I don't believe the motors are FP legal. They are leading the group despite being the second slowest class in the group!!

Loved this. Thanks for posting! What car was behind on the last several laps but declined your point-bys? Was to be there in my Bugeye... :(

No se oye nada

Last year I closed out my family home. My dad and I both flew models, RC. I found tons of old movies of dad and I out flying...well dad flying, me having fun. I spent hours in the evening watching these old movies. I had to have been four or five at the time, (Now nearly 70), they brought back loads of memories, Now flying CL, lost most of our fields in CA.

Nice video. Not too far from where I'm from

Nice Video, way before I was born.

Great! Yes, i started RC in 1977, everything was very expensive! Flying an aeroplane was a dream . . .but today every one can fly, it is so cheap! Nice to see the old planes! I am looking for an old tramsmitter and receiver with tubes!

Whoever was filming kept those planes pretty much right in the center of the frame. Thats harder than it looks unless you rehearse the whole thing a few times.

Nice! Anobody have plans for the plane shown ~30 Seconds into the video?

Sigh ... so long ago. I love it

Love the CD stepping over the wing lol

Thanks for sharing the video. Car looks great

Way to go Mike! Hi for the video!!!

So historical and so precious a film.

And now we have to fly with an FAA registration number affixed to our planes to comply with Federal aviation laws. What used to be a very special hobby is now something every Tom, Dick and Harry is into and causing safety issues. Too many people, too much government has screwed up the hobby.

Great stuff, love the footage. Funny - when people run and hand launch, so many times they seem to run and run without gaining any further speed before launching, i.e. hardly accelerating after the first few steps. Seems like a good way to increase the chance of tripping and crunching the model..

Thanks for sharing the footage! Glad to see that this car is still out there doing it
