Default Lucky day

A brief history of my time in the hobby. When I was around 14, my father and I bought a plane at a swap meet. I proceeded to try to learn and fly the plane, with a little help from my brother and father and friends. The plane was named "old reliable" or that is what I thought. The plane did a death spiral into the ground with my brother in control. I remember that plane very very fondly, I could not remember much about, I remembered that it was a little Cub like and had wing struts. I thought at the time that it was a huge plane. I later built an Eagle 20? attempted to fly that a few times, gave up the hobby for 18 years and got back into the hobby several years ago. I have always been trying to find my old reliable, but never with much luck. I just happened to see a poll in Facebook from AMA and Ole Reliable was one of the choices, looked at the plane and yup, that is the first plane that I had. I am going to have to order the plans and build that plane this winter http://www.modelaviation.com/plans-reliable .

I figured that I wold share the story with you, thanks for your time.
