I want to apologise to the site, I wanted to make a point about using stooges to launch your model and I mentioned where to get a free model plane, that was crossing the line, I will not do that again. I do want to make a point that I feel is very important.
Today we tend to keep to ourselves, we order a model through the mail, build it in the basement and slip off to fly it all alone on a deserted field. In the 50's things were different, you and your neighbors would get together for picnics, bowling, card games and parties. It was easy to get someone to go flying with. Maybee ....Just maybe if you approached your neighbor, relative, friend or .... you might find that they would be interested in seeing what you do with those model planes. You could sweeten the pot with the offer to bring a plane along for them to try out. Remember good stooges are made ... not born. The other bonus is the camaraderie between flights.
