Search on "Fighting Lady" on Youtube. The men that served on that ship refused to let her go down (even after WWll). The US Navy wanted to sink her, but the men that gave their lives to that ship put together the money to keep her floating

Early American colonisation was apparently no "bed of roses". Keep your head down tonight. It might be a bit windy. !!! We do not come by way of a bed of roses. My mother's family left Austria in the 1940's to escape national socialism. My fathers family is the one with English lineage, with the Smith's, Jone's, Miller's, Taylor's, etc. I have been through 17yrs of hurricanes here. My house has been through 32yrs with no damage. Expecting the best. Thanks

Posted by Piers Bowlan on 13/09/2018 17:22:57: Great to hear from you Lee and welcome to the forum. What is you favourite model currently and are you an IC or electric flight man,- or a bit of both? Post some pictures when you have time.   Thank you and I WILL post some photos in time. RC has NOT been part of my life for 30yrs now. Now that I am an old guy I am digging it back out. Haven't tried electric yet but plan to. I am repairing a badly damaged GP Sportster 40 kit from back in the day. I have 3 engines on the table. An Enya 15 (traded a CL Fox 36x and McCoy Redhead 35 for this little engine, the carb got my attention), an Enya 45 BB RC, an OS 61 Max FS with carb of course. At the moment my favorite model (or RC item) is my new Real Flight RF-8 simulator (no advertising intended). I am getting a real charge (and a LOT of practice) on this simulator Edited By Lee Taylor 1 on 13/09/2018 18:45:44   Edited By Lee Taylor 1 on 13/09/2018 18:47:18 Edited By Lee Taylor 1 on 13/09/2018 18:47:55 Edited By Lee Taylor 1 on 13/09/2018 18:49:15 Edited By Lee Taylor 1 on 13/09/2018 18:51:25

Posted by Don Fry on 13/09/2018 17:22:06: glue and crash is a lighter note? Crashing is a reality for me personality. To your point I do suppose it is not a lighter note. I have been flying on my new simulator and I crash frequently when trying new aerobatics. Sadly in my little world crashing is part of it whether on the sim or at the field. But I do agree, crashing is not a lighter note. But then again it depends on what one compares it to.

Yes I was born in the USA and I live in Charleston South Carolina. Yes the first permanent English settlement in the Carolina's is about a mile from my home on James Island. Yes James Island was named after King Charles brother James. Yes I have recently visited Yorktown VA and studied the horrid acts of treason, killing, and independence that ended there. On a much lighter note, I am a life long modeler. After 30yr hiatus I am purchasing, gluing, and crashing again. Yes I built and flew CL in the 60's: Flight Streak's / Ringmaster's / Voodoo's. RC History: Senior Falcon / P51D / Super-Sportster / RF8-Yak
