Default RE: Believe it or not this is the culprit that got me started.

It was all Dad's fault !! Like Parrot my Dad used to to take me all around the midwest to Rat-Racing & Combat competitons when I was very young living in Oklahoma. He would make me really nice rubberband powered gliders much bigger & nicer than the ones in the stores. I'd play with my toy planes & he would collect most of the Trophies to be had that day. Then as a youngster I messed around with control line too. But not to the exent that he did. I didn't have the patience to build them right I was allwys trying to fly them before the glue even had a chance to dry. Then one day a few years ago he called me & said he was done flying & would I come pick up these planes because he needed to clear out some room down stairs. I was pretty much helpless from that point on. I had no Idea he was talking about 3 pick-up loads worth of the stuff he had collected over the years.[8D]
