Title: Cutting up old models
Post by: Dwayne on June 16, 2006, 04:53:23 PM

Anyone in the same boat as me? I just had my place re painted , so I have a brand new shop and I'm looking at a bunch of old models that I dont need anymore, (or have room for) I'm torn, I dont want to trash them but I dont see that I have a choice, I dont have alot of room so I must pic the ones I want to to keep and trash the rest, Wahhh!...lol 
Oh Well

Dwayne,

Got any flying buddies who could benefit from any of them? Decent flying models can help a newer flier get practice and variety of experience.

I see several that would make good trainers with the controls slowed down.  Take one to the field with you so someone can try flying.  Just remember rich run with only enough fuel for about 15 to 20 laps.  Just my get you some local flying partners.  Later, DOC Holliday

I am just getting back to C/L after ...1979-2006=27 years?....that can't be right....anyrate flew my FlightStreak some last week and have a LA-25 on it....would really love to run across some people in the Ohio region cleaning out the shop....anything that would take a 25-40 would be great...I am probably going to get a ARF Nobler, someday, as I add to my abilities and start competing at some point.....fyi did the whole rc thing and have had some tough times over the last 5 years....midlife crisis type b..s....anyrate getting back to the basics and first flights on Streak have been great FUN

Thanks for the responses, the wingy thingy is a r/c Shrike, Maybe I'll donate them to our R/C club who knows maybe one of them might pick one up, I can allways hope.
Thanks again
Dwayne

His profile does not show where he is located and he has not responded.  Could be some locals close to him.  I know I met one at local hobby shop here that post here and has yet to E-Mail me anything.  DOC Holliday
