It was my youngest son, or I should say his ex wife. She bought my son an ARF from Hobby Lobby, radio, the works, for their fourth anniversary, thinking he would really dive into that hobby. Well, after a year, he hadn't shown much interest in finishing the kit, or flying it, for that matter and she was getting a little upset with him because we are talking $350.00 here!
So, I told him to bring it up to my house on their next visit, and I would help him finish it. And so, he did, we finished it, and when he went back home that weekend, he left the plane with me. He never looked back, and neither have I. I'm grateful I got to help him with it, one reason being I have really enjoyed myself, doing what I'm doing.
And his ex wife, God bless her, whereever she is, probably doesn't realize what she started.
