Yeah... I don't know what it is but I'm almost always perfectly ok with an honest mistake. If you total my car and it was an accident I don't have any ill-will toward you. But man, if you screw me out of a nickle then all I can think about is retribution. I have enough sense of self-preservation that I would never do anything but boy do I want to.

I sold him a million airplanes, some jets, some props, back in the day and I TOTALLY got a scharmy feel for the guy. He talked all sorts of big stuff. I've never seen him fly or heard of anyone who has seen him fly either.

Cash only, and all of it, upfront with this guy. And don't buy anything, just sell.

I sincerely hope it works out for you.

Hi guys, many of the jets in the picture at the beginning of this thread are now for sale at Sheldon's Hobbies in Milpitas/San Jose, CA. Looks like Paul did a consignment deal with the hobby shop owner.

Man, Sheldon's bring back memories. I was 9 yrs old, came home with a gold boxed futaba three channel, I was on top of the world! Good to hear its still going!

It isn't the same Sheldon's anymore. The owner of the shop you so fondly remember, sold it to a father and son team who own a few hobby shops around the Bay Area. The new Sheldon's is in a large warehouse, with a car track in the back occupying one-half of the warehouse, and car, heli, and plane stuff for sale in the other half of the warehouse.
