This is exactly the type of message I was trying to get across to the new guys in my !st Gasser $0 Budget thread. Besides the kind of horsetrading & swapping I did to get my 27%er, these club swap-meets are an excellent avenue for getting your hands on a flyable glow Trainer for very little money. Usually you can pick up something worth flying to learn on for far less than alot of these "Toy planes" you see so many Hobby Shops flooded with these days targeting the beginner that doesn't really know any better & is 9 out of 10 times disapointed with & frustrated with his or her purchase in no time. There's a reason they carry so many replacement foam wings for those things! I love club swap-meets. Around here they are so popular we're out there in the driving rain with the hawk biting bitter cold sometimes just to get a good deal![sm=drowning.gif]
