...........................but I was more into building 6-8 ft wingspan free-flight balsa and tissue paper gliders when I was a kid.

Mine was building SIG Kits for the short period I tried to get into RC flying. Loved building them but never got to the point where I could fly without crashing. My biggest was a non-SIG glider with an 8' wingspan. I ended up selling it to a local RC club.

I did lots of gliders too. Two Ambroid Jetstream A1's still make me smile. They flew so well. A few RC's too. And a couple Zaic (6ft) free flights. Good times.

I took my gliding course in January with snow squalls and below freezing temperatures! It was damn cold I tell ya and I climbed out of the cockpit after one flight looking like a snowman I has so much snow on me!

I learned on Schweizers with canopies. You might want to check out Wolfgang Piper's FS9/FSX & on glider site. He covers lots of eras.

I've downloaded a lot of stuff from Wolfgang's site over the years. ;)
