Bob, thank you for the welcome words!  My wife and I visit Lake Geneva about 4 times a year, its a great place to walk around and people-watch!

Sparky, I do have some old 72 equipment, like a "brand new" never-been-used 1991 Narrow Band 7SP Airtronics 7 channel.  I can still use it right? I know that some changes were made in the frequency ranges, but when I researched AMA site, the ranges stated were 72. I bought this system for later use, after I was trained-up.  The trainer I built in 1984 was shared with another fellow I worked with (it had a Futaba 4ch). One weekend I had to work OT, he didn't, and he took it out and crashed it.  Thats when I took this long break.

Well I'll sign off for now, good to be back in the hobby!

Back in the early Spring, my wife I were sitting in the Military Ridge/ State Trail parking lot, eating our recently begotten Culver's cheese curds, when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a large red biplane.  Now I am a former aircraft mechanic, and specialized in vintage restorations here at the Brodhead Airport, so I was at first a little rattled to see this craft do an apparent stall and noseover, then disappeared behind the ridge, but then it dawned on me that this was a large rc! It rose again moments later and was across the highway and being controlled from over the ridge!  Well we finished eating, and drove back home.
