I too never had the silver spoon. Earned some money for .25 and .50 cent Joe Ott and Comet kits. Couldn't afford Cleveland.

Earned that first Thor .29 and CL kit along with the above JO/C kits by PICKING COTTON, and cutting yards with push rotary mower. Later funded modeling, girls, and fishing by sawing logs, peeling piling, gathering corn, then working pipelines, then into USAF Aviation Cadets. Had no time for trouble.


So fight on.
ok when you were earning pennies....what if someone...say back in the day...told you it would be 25.00 a hour to learn how to fly?
you would of took your raggedly ol plane back home or to the local park or football field and smashed it into the ground...then you were done...no more plane...you hated the hobby and the butthead at the local club who wanted to charge a 15 year old kid 25.00 a hour to learn how to do the best thing he'd ever wanted to do?...oh ya i forgot...screw that pay me!
