This was a fun period and probably one of the
most relaxing hobbies I have had. I enjoyed both the building and the
flying of the Model planes and played with them for a couple of
years off and on.

Starting off small
here. One servo to steer the glider left or right once
it was up in the air.
Above Right: Joanne ready
to chuck the little thing.
Right: One of the guys had a big powered
model and would take all the Gliders up on it's back. |

That done lets go bigger. |
Lots of Balsa and Glue. |
 |
 |
|
Servos for up, down, left, right
and go. |
Time for a last bit of
courage before lift off. |
|
You could put anywhere up to 80 hours
into building one of these and all it might take all of
2 minutes to wreck it.
The fun bit was putting it back together again in the
hope you might get to learn to fly the bloody thing. |

I am not sure what I did with all my radio gear and
models but I probably gave everything away when I stopped
flying and went onto the next thing.

Update 2010 I bought a
model helicopter.

This little one became my favourite and was very
quick.
Lots of tears with the Glider but also a lot of fun.
It was big enough to see as well.
