See we have even more in common.

I have an attic full of aircraft. I never flew copters, but I have about 1/2 dozen RC aircraft.

Goldberg SuperChipmunk - 90
Goldberg Eagle II - 60cc
Goldberg SkyTiger - Called for 60 but I carbon fibered the spar, and sheeted the wing and went with 90
Goldberg PITTS - - 45 but put a 75 on it.

ARF - P51D - 60 put a 90 on it.
ARF - F4U Corsair. 60 put a 90 on it.

I also have 4-5 older Skyport 6 channel Futaba radios.

I have not flown in about 10 years though

Later,
