Sold! - 20 years of RC hobby

Thanks to Tom of Waxahatchie, many model airplanes and goodies now have a new home…

———————————————————————————————————-

After 20+ years of designing/building/flying remote control airplanes, its time to leave the hobby and move on to other endeavors (like small house design.) Below is a quick listing of my airplanes and accessories for sale, and some basic pictures. Obviously, all this should go to someone in the Central Texas area. Right now, It pretty much takes up and entire 10×10 storage unit, so plan on bringing a good size trailer to load it all up!

I’ve added some of my old short stories and poetry, as well as quotes and other “stuff.” You can mouse over the very top of the site, and see it all now. It is interesting to look back 10+ years in some respects, and see what all has, and what hasn’t, changed.

I need more change, I can tell right now!

how hobbies nickel-and-dime you to death…

I’ve been build and flying model airplanes for fun about 20 years now. So, when you get an ad like this below, it sounds great at first glance:

But, when you add up the “required accessories” to get said airplane ready to go, you end up having spent this…

So, $520 “extra” dollars later, you have a flyable airplane… There Ain’t No Justice!
