Title: The Decision I did not want to make.
Post by: Mike Griffin on July 24, 2020, 03:28:16 PM: Due to some non life threatening but non the less painful health problems , I will be phasing out and selling most if not all of my kits, engines and supplies. I do not have all that much but what I have is nice and in really good condition.

I will be listing items in the classifieds if you would like to take a look. It will take me a while to get a complete inventory so bear with me.

This is a decision I truly hated to make but it was necessary.

Thank you and please keep checking the classifieds to see my listings.

Sincerely,

Mike

But it does keep me from flying anymore. Like you, I stay active on this site, and still have my hobby of old ignition engines. I will turn 80 this year Lord willing, and am grateful for all the years that I have been blessed by this hobby. I started back in the 40's with stick and tissue models. Flew control line by the time I was 10. Flew R/C Pattern for 24 years before coming back to control line in 94.

It is a very wholesome hobby that teaches us so much we can use all through our lives. I was introduced to it early on in the middle 40's at Swope Park in Kansas City when I was about 6 years old. I was never the same after that. I have been involved in it almost continually all my life. But, all good things come to an end. I miss the people and the building and flying, but I have great memories. All the best to you.
