My latest plane

Who says I can't build fast?

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I suppose I should mention that my biggest plane right now is a Twister, and that my next plane up is a Legacy (hence the name on the wing).

Since my #1 son thoughtfully solved my dilemma about when I should replace my Ford Escort by totaling it last week, we're looking for cars -- that's a fit tester to make sure that whatever teeny car we get still fits the plane I'll be flying next year.

FWIW, Randy showed up at one of the COLD contests in his RX-7. His plane was a high A/R .60-ish size. Hatchbacks are good stuff!

I hope your boy is ok, and the accident wasn't his fault. But expect higher insurance rates, whether his fault or not. '' Steve

In 1944 18-20 year old's stormed beaches, and parachuted behind enemy lines to almost certain death.  In 2015 18-20 year old's need safe zones so people don't hurt their feelings.

OK, but definitely his fault.  I tried to get mad at him, but then I got to thinking of the trees, posts, and other cars that I managed to bounce off of before I turned 25, and kinda calmed down.

And yes, I'm looking forward to the new, higher rates.
