- Cpt-PugwashMidshipmanHey Trev..
There are pilots WAY better than me. I fly Scale, no aerobatics (my machines don't like aerobatics!!). Just like the Violin or juggling, they take perseverance and practice. I have been flying Helis for 40+ yrs now.. - Hhager2LieutenantNow u know why I like electric no fuel mess n instant start. I had a raptor 60 fir years but traded in fir electric. Had FPV also at one time. Doing boats mostly this year as weather is lousy fir flying on weekends here Nice heli thoLiked by Cpt-Pugwash

Found old photo First R/C model & Transmitter & Speed Control
This is a photo I found in a old album .It's my first R/C controlled model & I think it was a Billings tug The Sampson .The radio was a Cox Sanyo transmitter & Receiver . I had to get a C/B license back then to operate the radio . Years later I removed the deck & cabin & used the hull to make the North Rock tug boat . That's the speed control that I would have used back then.😊

- RodCLieutenant CommanderI recall getting GRS licences for two "CB" mobile radios & a base station in the mid-70s, & also a licence for a 72 MHz $400 Cox-Airtronics 4-function radio system for 100"-span Standard-class gliders, using only rudder & elevator servos. I believe the licences were $19 /yr each back then.
In abt 1990 INDUSTRY CANADA narrow-banded the RC channels & therefore was able to add a few more channels. The service category also became licence-exempt, but type-approved radio apparatus, certified for use in Canada, was still a legal requirement.
By then CB radios were 40ch

"Grace Darling" Liverpool Class Lifeboat
Ian Potts built his model from the David Metcalf kit and sailed the model at Boundary Park on our Wednesday 30th August meeting. Unfortunately there was a problem with one of the props and rudder (all now fixed) so the sail was short. Sails realistically and is really well built and detailed.

Just a little sailing at Spencer's pool
A couple of members went for a morning sail I had may North Rock tug & a fellow member was checking out his latest R/C model that I really like the looks of her I forgot the ships name but the fellow running her said it was a Steam research vessel. I had upgraded North Rock to a Fly Sky transmitter & sure enough had to reprogram rudder & forward - reverse functions .

Gundalow Scratch Built Model
Here's my scratch built model of a Gundalow. in their final iteration they were lateen rigged cargo hauling workhorses of the New Hampshire and Maine estuaries from the mid 1600's thru very early 1900. Flat bottomed with a very shallow draft that allowed sailing (or following the tides/currents) to ports upriver with needed supplies and returning with cargo of all types. My model is 50" in length. It is used as a display model for The Gundalow Company in Portsmouth, NH. I also use it with historical presentations I give to schools, historical societies and libraries. The model is fully functional. While not radio controlled it has the ability to float.
