I built a bunch of planes in high school and then took a 15 year hiatus. Since I restarted I’ve built a Spanish-American War battleship, a Gato class sub and a 427 Cobra. I also started a Canadian CF-18 with special airshow markings, but it was destroyed in a cat attack. I’m working on an F-16 Delta Dart right now.
My last was a balsa wood model of a Coast Guard 40 foot utility boat about 10 years ago. It took a long time and an enormous amount of effort. It was motorized and about 2.5’ in length.
It has never seen water, though. I am afraid all my work will end up in Davy Jones’ locker. Ha Ha
I piloted one of those things while I was in the CG in the early 70’s.
