Title: Just too funny!
Post by: Douglas Ames on November 01, 2011, 11:50:40 PM

Ever see an auction on eBay (attic find) where the seller is, umm... "uninformed" about the hobby of Control Line flying (I'm being nice) This one is just takes the cake. The description and suggestions are priceless.

What? Guys, the starting bid was only $24.95.. ;->

Following the same philosophy as the vintage car collectors, this "barn find" has
a lot of patena - and character!
