Good engines. Flew in RC racers. Only Cyclone's (note spelling) I had were pre WWII gas engines, with ignition, and Class C size in those days. No, that's a very different engine. See: http://www.gregorie.org/freeflight/f.../cyclon06.html for more about the Cyclon 06. They use Nelson plugs and are very sweet engines. Why did a lot of model flyers get into gliders as they got older? A good question. My club has quite a lot of modellers in it, many still active on the modelling scene. I flew a bit of CL and single channel RC when I was a kid, but discovered the competition free flight scene at University around 1970 and never looked back. I flew mostly towline glider (A/2, F1A) and a bit of small power (1/2A, then F1J). I've always built my own models and designed my F1As and F1Js. I got a bit less interested in model flying with the rise of bought models and this, combined with my first ride in glass (an ASK-21) in 1999 kick-started my move into soaring. I joined my present club and started learning to fly in 2000. |
