I had one of the rubber band balsa wood ones when I was a kid, loved it!
Yeah, they have some incredible models these days, the look exactly like the real thing. I won't be spending 20K, I'll get a second hand one if I get into the hobby which is still not certain hence the Sunday thing. I'm just thinking of viable hobbies for later in life you know? When I'm an old fucker.
Those rubber band balsas flew pretty good, didn't they? lol
You know how hobbies are...you start with a secondhand plane to dabble then wind up buying......more
I was devo (devastated) when it broke. My parents didn't have a lot of money so I didn't get a new one; still, I had it for a good while, went through a few engines (rubber bands) and loved it while I had it.
And yeah, hobbies blow out of proportion and I've had many. I will try not to let that happen but...if I end up with a full size F35, well...not my fault. 🤔
That's the spirit! I'm thinking Mr. Bonkers is gonna want in on a piece of that action lol. It may become another passion to share when you are spending time together.
It's a good thing engines were so easy to replace back then . We always had a junk drawer full of rubber bands and paper clips for emergency repairs lol
Yeah, I think so too...I'd have to learn how to fly first though, not a good look crashing. He flies his dad's drone now and then, loves it, so u reckon he'd be into model planes. (I'd like to get a WWI bi-plane or a WWII Spitfire I think) We'll see in time.
