FB,

Back in 2008 when I decided to return to the hobby I was of course plane poor. I started collecting RCM mags and ran across the Side Pocket which to me is very similar to Jim Kimbros Deception, one of my favorites. At that time my plan was to scratch build a 60 sized Side Pocket but that got put on the back burner as I started to collectClassic Pattern planes.

Here's my latest score an $80 dollar unstarted Great Planes/Joe Bridi Deception kit with fiber glassed canopy. I found it on craigslist of all places.

I actually bought out the guy and got Carl Goldberg Super Chipmonk kit, a 40 sized Great Planes J-3 Cup framed up, an already built 40 sized Lucky Stick ready to fly,an already built Carl Goldberg Protege already built ready to fly, an already built plane he called an Eagel 20, two radios, one for the Lucky Stick and one for the Protege, an OSMax 61FX engine, a NIB Fox 45bb with nosecone 10 rolls of monokote a gallon on 10% nitro. All his build tools. Two brand new 12volt 7amp hour hobby batteries. Tote with starter.Scored all for $450.

Too top it all off I also wonour clubs raffle at the AMA convention for a Parkzone Spitfire PNP and picked up another unstarted Super Chipmonk for $80, had a Very good weekend.
