CT and Doc ...Thanks for the kind words. The plane came out nicely,light and straight. Will surely be a fine flyer when not racing it. In 1970, just after I was married, I built one on a card table in our apartment in NE Philly. It was a fine flyer with Fox 35 and clear plastic Top Flite prop (remember those??) .......but the plane got broken before my first flight. Here's why....
My bride got pissed off at me for (1)smelling up the joint with dope fumes (2) claiming that I was not paying attention to her.
I proudly left my new plane on the card table and left the apartment. When I returned, I see that the plane is on the floor ,there was damage to rudder and elevator, a hole in the drywall above the table,and blood on the carpeting.......and my wife is MIA
So,I call my mother in law to ask ,Where is Susan? She said that her dad took her to the emergency room of the hospital for a deep cut on her ankle requiring stitches. So how did this happen?
She got so angry with me that she launched the plane into the wall,it bounced off the wall and the prop cut her exposed ankle badly. When she got home from the hospital we had a real heart to heart "talk" and settled our "hobby issues" forever. We're still married after 47 years.......Skip
