Guys, please understand: Bill paid his hard earned dollars for it. It's piece of history and is worth every penny as such. You could help Bob out and buy it for him.
Steve.. U GOTTA BE KIDDIN?
I THINK WE UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY!!!!! HISTORY...DAAAAAAA?
Thinking back over the years....I have given away most of my old models during my competition years...and 99% of them were freebee's and those that weren't handed over for free, we usually worked out a "barter type thing.
Maybe instead of $$$ trading for an extra Stunt engine or a beautiful set of foam wings.....or cans of dope or fuel..etc etc.
What BOGGLES my mind..I still find it hard to believe that ANY MODELER would ask for $$$ back for an old model that certainly would need CONSIDERABLE reconstruction and revamping?
Even that beautiful piece of sky art so skillfully created so long ago and personally....TO ME IT WOULD BE AN HONOR to return that model to its creator.
It would be AMAZING just to see what kind of ART that our Bob, our stunt master builder and craftsman could re-creat into a brand new updated Super version of the CROSSFIRE?
