My first plane was a Bob Martin EZ trainer (kit) 1989. I had a futaba Conquest 4ch. I remember getting a good butt chewing from Mom because I used her clothes iron to cover the plane. It had a bark blue fuse and red wings and tail surfaces. It had a OS-40-FP on it. This was a 25 size plane, so we were over powering planes back then too. (Still do).

All that stuff is long gone now, but my second plane that everyone said I couldn't fly was a Miss Marta. I did fly it and still have it. although it doesn't fly anymore.
