    Sig mist with the Klotz racing oil. Thst gets the old testosteronis pumping!
    Talk about Sig, when I was 15 years old putting together my first Kadet Jr. I had some questions. So I called the 800 hotline on the instruction manual and proceeded to grill Hazel Sig herself for about 15 minutes. What s treat. Good old lady. BTW that was 40 some years ago. Thought I'd share this as these encounters are rarely heard of anymore. Thanks for sharing Shug. Always love your content.

      SIG was always a favorite of mine. They seem to be clinging to life. Never met Hazel but would have liked too. I still have some SIG rc planes. Always quality kits and they always supported control line. Twister is still a very good flyer.

    My dad and I used to fly these type of planes when I was a little kid. I was terrified of the cox engine sound and the propeller spinning at ungodly rpms. If i made a mistake or crashed dad would cuss me out and beat the crap out of me. Ahhh good times Buzzzzzzzzzz boom 💥

      We have opposite stories. My Dad bought me my first one. He flew first and crashed it. We went out for ice cream and BBQ and he bought me a new one (mainly so he could try it) good memories for me. Flew today in fact.

    You know, UA-cam hasn't been notifying me of your video drops. I had watched a video or two before and then I subbed, but I forgot about your channel until I noticed your "Hammock Pros and Cons" video in the batch they throw at you because of interests/ so I watched that and began to wonder why I wasn't watching your fun videos. I checked that I'm subscribed and then went to your videos list to see the latest, 9 days ago, and searched back through my notifications, and I haven't been getting notifications at all. I'll hit the bell again and see what follows and check back soon ( write a note to self).

    Great site did you guys get a new flying site? Six of us in our car club use to fly U Control. All admitted that was 40 years ago. Now I guess I am most active. But I've been side lined about 8 months. Very hot over 100 degrees for about 72 days. Set records. One other guy has a plane ready to fly. And me. That's it. The other four will have to build and get set up to fly. Maybe this spring.

I live on a grass runway. Can only fly when the wind is out of the south. Stuge. And 50 ft lines. I do one flight 3 minutes power lines at both ends. Great video's
