DOC's newest kit

Got this for a Christmas present.  There are 10  planes in the box.  They are experimental hand launch gliders. D>K

The "experimental" part is what happens to your shoulder if you try to impress any MLB TALENT SCOUTS that might be watching.... n1

That may be the best kit for a VECO .19!

The "steam" part of the name is intriguing, for some reason. My Grampa ran a choo-choo for a living from the Depression until the late 1950's, and said he liked steam a lot better than the diesel-electric sort. Maybe that's why I'm drawn to steam gauges and steam stunt?  f~ 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.

I was told my Grandpa drove the first diesel-electric out of the Rock Island yards once they figured out why the electricity wasn't getting to the motors.   Seems there was corrosion on the contacts of the controller/speed controller. D>K
