NICE! My heart was always with scale. I fell in love with WW2 aviation when I was a kid...then I fell in love with the WW1 stuff....can’t put your heart into an ARF so I guess I gotta wait till I can build again. I do miss doing touch and goes on a sunny day though....biggest airplane I have is a Stinson with a small gas motor, G23 I think, 120 inch wing span...my first gas plane.

Isn't that the best? I love to try to hit the same spot every time. I tell young kids at the field how much skill a touch and go entails and they just look at me funny and off they go doing the hovering thing.

I still can't hover my planes for any length of time

My biggest thrill is landing my sailplanes directly at my feet without spoilers...just an intimate knowledge of how the plane flies and how well it glides.
