Hi folks. Been a long hard summer. Had another neuro surgery back in May. While I was away my home was broken into. I lost all my model kits, building tools, cameras, tvs, everything. They caught the people but some of my stuff is being held as evidence. Also had some rehab therapy to get my balance back. Started messing with a new hobby. Jay you may like this. Attachment:

That wasnt me Jay. Here is the scoop. I like to metal detect and needed a new machine. Bought one and put the old machine up on a buy and sell asking for 2 plastic model kits in exchange. I ended up with the white plane, radio, ready to fly. Engine was a bit seized but a local flyer fixed it. Flys really nice. I have about 10 minutes flying time. No take offs or landings yet. Bought the F18 you see but that is a future fly, not yet. Also have a glider on the way with a motor on it/ Prop blades fold back when the motor stops. Will be back to plastic come cold weather.

F18. Most planes today are foam. Easy to fix, very light.
