dc3-2

I don't really have any pictures to share (the one above is not my model), but growing up I put together quite a few plastic models, Guillows balsa and tissue models, and the occasional Estes rocket. These have all been lost or destroyed along the way ... but they paved the way for the models I do have now. :-)

I remember the first model my dad helped me put together (well mostly put together himself for me and my little brother to play with.) That was a DC3 and I thought it was pretty much the coolest thing I had ever seen.

I should also mention "Uncle Bart" who used to fly his many R/C planes in the late afternoon when I was growing up in Peru. Whatever we were doing after school, my friends and I would drop it when we heard the little engine buzzing around in the sky. We would run to the small airstrip to watch him fly (after we finished gasping and wheezing from our sprint.) This is where I was first introduced to the wonderful hobby of R/C aircraft.
