Money spent has no bearing on the enjoyment realized.

That is absolutely true. BTDT with the expensive stuff.

Now I'm back to flying 1.40 CID glow and gas engines, or smaller.
Mostly smaller. The bulk of my engines are in the .45 range, plus
or minus.

Plus I'm now into small electric powered models.

I'm having more fun than I had when worrying all the while the
really expensive models were flying. Expensive isn't for everyone.
Even if they have the money.

Smaller models are easier to transport and handle. As my wife
pointed out one day when large and small models were flying at
our field, they all look the same size after they take off. <G>

"Bigger flies Better" can also be read as bigger responds slower, giving a less skilled flier more time to react.

I like having more time to react.

If that comment was about my wife, she lives 800 miles away from me. I like it that way.

Status: offline 		That explains it then... No woman would put up with that. LOL And on the plane sizes, I love my little Super Stearman, it keeps me on my toes. That little sucker is on crank or something. It zips around like a fly... Great fun !!!

Status: offline 		Thanks for the listing, bill. My Dad was a full blooded Welchman, my mom mostly German. The movie had been out for a little while when I was going through "Rush" in college. It opened several doors and eased a lot of tensions on my part. Anyway , it has been fun. I was named after my grandad and great grandad. Back to the thread. Tom

Status: offline 		I have built racks in the garage out of the adjustable shelving from Home Depot. I just attach the wings and slide the plane on the rack. I store 2 planes above the storage cabinets that line the walls. The small electrics are laying on the top of the refrigerator and the top of the freezer is my work bench. Make sense I will take some pictures if you would like to see it. Tried to post one here but can't seem to get it in the reply. If they appear look in the background and you will see some of the planes. Still have 5 in boxes to build. I love the building aspect of this hobby and since I have become a fairly decent flier , am not wrecking them quite as much . Largets I have is 2 quarter scale models. A Creek Hobbies Katana and a Grea Planes Ryan Sta M.

Status: offline 		Very nice Jack, I also see you have the same Cessna I have. I can't wait to get er done. My friend Greg dumbthumbed a little too close to the ground, and then gave it to me. I will put a Saito 72 on it. She's almost done..... Dennis

You've made the list, number 72,

Curious. Is the "lobot" part short for lobotomy? Or is the whole thing supposed to be carzy wolf as in "Loco lobo," with the "T" added to be a play on "Robot" which would make the entire thing "Crazy mechanical wolf?" As I said, I'm curious.

Bill.
