That's probably why I got into modeling. I just loved building radio control airplanes. You got to realize I was doing that back in the late '80s and the '90s. There was no such thing as ARF's. Almost ready to fly. No sir. First thing you needed was something flat and level that you could stick pins in. I used a cut down door. You taped your plans to the door and wax paper on top so the glue don't stick and you would lay out your balsa wood and hold it down with pins. Most major parts were pre-cut but there was an awful lot of wood that you had to have a miter jig and razor saw two or three different types of glue and different types of epoxy and it took months to build a plane. Then you would sand and shape and sand some more. And during all that you are making sure your engine fits in and the exhaust whichever type you choose fits in and all your servos and wiring and gas tank have to be perfect. With all the tips and tricks you learn along the way. And then after it's all sanded and sitting there looking great you still have to cover it with monocoat. Some guys were good at that and there was some guys that Holy gee whiz, are you sure that's airworthy? I like to think I was pretty good at it but I have to admit the way the machines do the wings now and the body they come out looking Sharp. And electric wasn't around. And then electric came out along with carbon fiber and planes got really light and the pilots didn't really want to fly when it was windy. And they can only fly for like 5 minutes. What a bunch of crap. Stick a big nitro engine on a plane that's built good and beefy and the wind becomes your friend and boy is it fun.
