For this you are proud? Wow baby! I've flown a lot of radioless
aircraft but damn, a JRC isn't that expensive and I keep on in my bag
at all times.


WTF is a JRC?


Its an inexpensive hand-held radio. One I've used in the Champ, Chief,
and J-3. Its hard to understand why anyone would fly around in a non-
radio airplane w/o putting out a few bucks for a radio.


And why would i need one.


Because safe pilots believe that having a radio increases safety.

And who said I was proud of it. BTW?

I merely stated a fact.


I asked. Notice the question mark. That indicates a question in
English.
