After many a year, I'm playing around with getting back into the hobby, mostly because of my son taking an interest.
So I built a bench in the basement and went looking thru old boxes for what I could find. I've been hauling this stuff around since the 60s. I found my engines, everything from Enyas from the Korean War era to 049/020s from the late 50s to Fox and Torpedo engines up to 35s.
I had a temporary revival in the 90s and scratchbuilt a couple of stunt designs...never finished them and they are a little ratty after surviving 20+ years in the basement. One is a Thunderbird built from plans. The other is a bit different. I had taken the family to the Smithsonian Air Museum and was really hooked with the Hughes H-1 racing plane. I drew up my own plans for a semi-scale 48" wingspan model that I wanted to put a Fox 35 in. I never finished the model but I include it here in case you are wondering what it looks like.
Needless to say, I've got some patching and cleaning ahead of me. Maybe I'll get these things into the air after all!!
