Ha ha,funny you should mention/post that tonight, I have a Fresh Cherries 1/12th scale AMC Gremlin from a few years back, also the Pacer. TOnight, I went to my favorite auction because they listed R/C stuff for sale. I came home with 4 controllers( $2, 7, and 10 and 10 each ), a Beechcraft Staggerwing kit, and a box of Life_like Train set, Santa Fe with logging cars, for $4. Pretty good haul. Not sure if the radios are modern or old, with unusable frequencies yet, but hey, for 27 I got 3 nice ones, 2 are 4-way controllers, one seems to be an automobile controller. They had a few cars there, but I wanted RC airplane stuff. Always wanted to get into it, but just couldn't afford, or willing to spend, the big bucks on a nice 4-way controller, much less the aircraft, motor, etc. Hopefully at least one will be usable, two of them have the 4 controller boxes in the set. So, yeah, I am interested in RC.
