Winter weather! No flying lately. I'll post some pics.
The first one is a model car I built when I was a teen-ager, from a Lindberg Mercer Raceabout plastic kit. It was about 1/16 scale, I think. There were several released. I had the Mercer and the Stutz Bearcat. This is the only one that survived long enough to photograph. I thought about restoring it, but it was too badly deteriorated. The second pic is a model my sister built long ago.
The final photo is an airplane from the first phase of my RC hobby. It was given to me by a gentleman who got me into the hobby. In fact, he used to be my boss. A very nice guy. This plane flew well. It had a 55 inch span and the engine was a McCoy .40. I would never go back to this kind of RC plane. Electric is the only way to go. No storing fuel, no mess, no noise, no prop flipping, no backfiring, no bruised fingers, no tweaking of needle valves.
One more model car, another one my sister built:
