Default RE: ASM Lancaster?

hehe I missed out of flying the real warbirds by about forty years. I grew up reading "Biggles" books and doodling sopwith camels and fokker triplanes. Would love to fly full scale but money was always an issue. I'd started building a kit when I was about 14 (about an eon ago), using all the wrong materials, trying to iron on solartex with a clothes iron etc and no way of affording an engine or radio gear. When I found out how much it was all going to cost I sort of gave up on the idea. About 18 months ago I was killing time and wandered into a hobby shop, tried a demo version of Realflight and that reignited the whole thing, so here I am now with three planes and bronze wings. Maybe one day I'll fly a real one, but for now I'm happy.

How about you?
