I've been modeling since 1934 but got my first airboat, a Windy, a few months back. Cursed that thing every day I tried to build it per the Dumas instructions. A new OS .10 isn't the easiest thing to figure out either and I got my first engine in '36. Then I got it finished and on the water. Still building aircraft and sailboats but look forward most to running the Windy. I now have another Windy kit that will have a larger engine (.15) and a kit for the big swamp buggy.
If you want to get even with someone, for anything, let him run your airboat and he too will be hooked and begin to evade his responsibilities just to get down to the pond with his airboat and watch it go while he hatches plans for another one, only larger.
Gotta go out to the shop now and finish up a couple of airplanes so I can start my two new kits.
