George and Jack
You two must be older than dirt. Just kidding. I didn't get started in flying until the mid 60's. I remember when I was very young I would beg my mother for a quarter so I could go to the dime store and buy a stick model, run home and put it together. I don't remember ever trying to wind the motor and flying it though. I don't think I have ever seen or heard a diesel run. It just was not what anyone at the fields I have flown at was doing. Looking forward to getting one. There is a local swap meet tomorrow in another close town and am going to go and see if anyone has any diesel's for sale. If not, it is order time.
By the way I am 63 years young.
