Nice transition from the jacket-and necktie crowd with odd-looking free-flight airplanes all the way to golf shirts and off-the-shelf radio control! Another good one, Bomberguy.

lovely... the beginning of our pasion...

i think in that time was more serious than now... i mean, you can buy pre-builded "toys" that the people think they are "model planes".... in my opinion, nothing is compare to build your own plane, starting from wood pieces...
