Those were the days. I had a super tiger .60 setup for a biplane that I never managed to finish. Ran everything from the .10 to .40 on a variety of planes that I built from kits or scratch. All balsa, pine and shrink wrapped. Mixed my own fuels. The sounds, smell, the mess, the excitement of that first flight when I didn’t know if it was going to fly or thrash itself into oblivion.
That's the sound i remember , the smell is intoxicating , I still have my O S 25 / 4 cc and a 2.5 cc , the 25 pulls a 4 ft span c/l model straight off and up with 40 ft lines .
