HPA

Hello all. I was led to the new HPA site when the old went off-line recently then reopened as a modelling accessory sales site. After E-mailing Bruce, he gave me the new link, and so I'm here now.

I've been doing modelling for a long time, first with glider and ROG then stick and tissue rubber power as an adolescent in the 1960's, then C/L and R/C in the early 1970's, R/C mostly single channel and some 2 channel then 3 channel aircraft, half-A C/L (Coxes, etc.).

I'm wanting to return to the old days I started out with, now have about a dozen rubber powered aircraft kits to build, Comet, SIG, Guillow, etc. Also continue with C/L aircraft. Latest kit I picked up is a semi prefab approx. 20 inch (508 mm) wingspan Consolidated Sonic Star of the early 1960's. It has a vacuum plastic full fuselage in halves, tip tanks, swept wings like a jet in airfoiled shape sheet balsa and sheet balsa tail surfaces, for .049 engines.

Look forward to meeting with you all and enjoying your posts on building, flying, and sharing with you my builds and flights.
