                        nmav8r here I've been away for about 35 years flying radio control and full scale aircraft.I started building WW1 aircraft than WW2 and Viet Nam era. Lucky for me, I held on to the unbuilt kits I had. I've have kits  (Frog) that I paid 35 cents for that are worth almost 3 times that now. I'm into 1/72 scale I still have just about every model I've built.I have several boxes of kits and finished models in storage. My project now is to build all of the Air Force trainer aircraft. I still have to collect the Curtis JN4 Jenny and the F-15B to complete thed set. Then I want to collect all the full scale aircraft that have checked out in.

                        Welcome !  I have always wanted to try RC airplanes but the direction of the plane would throw me.

                        If its coming towards me is left ... right ???    < CRASH !!! >

                        RC boats are easier for me. If you get confused you just have to stop. Then there is plenty of time to figure out your next move.

                        I think your FROG kits are worth more than  35 cents  X3.

                        Welcome to the forums and be sure to post pictures of your builds. We need pictures.

                         Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

                        Glad to have you here bud. I'm going to start getting into the RC stuff later on this year. I have an addictive personality so I already know to keep it stock. Lord knows what the heck I'll end up with if I ever start going with it!! Looking forward to seeing your builds, Joe
