I evolved into the turbine stuff over the last decade or so.

But I still enjoy a good rip with a nitro plane, or car for that matter.

Back in the day I even built a 1/2A Shrike with a tuned MVVS 2.5 to come to the meet on El Mirage dry lake.
I planned to make it a weekend on the lake, and to take the plane and tx as cabin luggage on the flight over there 🤣
