Yeah, most of my planes were re-used by my Dads younger kids years ago .. ;)

I've built and flown tons of bigger planes, in my youth .. had a pretty neat collection of sailplanes and gliders before I moved away from home.  I know what its like to fly bigger planes ..

Yup!  

My Dad is currently building an F-14 scale with ducted fan jets, 24-channels of control, and so on .. I think its one of those things where its more fun to build than fly the damn things. :)

Well .. I really, really enjoy the close-quarter flying of the park-flier classes - its so nice to not have to walk all over the landscape retrieving bits and pieces after a crash. :)
