When I was in my late teens my father and I built and flew several home built aircraft, we would fly all over the country side, barn storming, going to flyins, and in general, just having a ball. I had been working around the clock for 3 months to finish one of them that we had been working on for two years because I wanted to take it to a flyin that was coming up, I finished in time for the flyin, but I started getting sick the night before we were leaving. I wound up going anyway, during the flight we had to climb to a fairly high altitude to clear the mountains, and when we did I ruptured my eardrums. I am 55 now and since that day if I am going to fly I am going to be a little airsick and that just takes the sparkle out of it for me. So I enjoy building and flying my models. Life is good...
