Yesterday I found two large kit boxes at an estate sale, each filled with high quality balsa strips and sheets, plus some finished parts for the kits. I got all of that for $8.00! And for $7.50 more I got a sturdy parts box with sliding drawers and clevises, bolts, screws, control horns, blades, and all sorts of miscellaneous parts in each drawer. But that's not all. A couple of bucks more got me some nice props. This was a good find, and compensates to some extent for poor flying weather lately. I tried the Hawk Sky yesterday morning but flying it in the wind was a real struggle and no fun at all. At least I can do some sort of building project, if I get antsy. This is the second time I've gotten lucky at an estate sale. Summer before last I found a box of balsa that turned out to have several vintage engines at the bottom. I got all of that for $10 as I recall. I sold the engines on eBay for a nice profit!
