Cool idea for a thread, suprised no other takers.

My first as a kid  was a Goldberg Eaglet 50 with a .25 engine and 4 channel AM.  Dont have any photos of it. When I came back again as an adult I got back in with a PT-40

Then my first acro, Sig Somethin Extra

And my first 'scale' project, you guys know what this is....

No smart phones when I was a kid.  

My first plan built kit, a funscale P-40.

I think I had built and flown maybe 6-7 kits before this.. Got the plans ....worked my way thru it ...was a new learning /teaching experience. Built it in my third floor apartment. Didnt have a single power tool even used a hand crank drill. 

Wife let me use the largest room for my shop.

Plane flew great..would consider building another one,, though a bit bigger..

Alan ,

I built a stick and tissue wildcat when I was pretty young, (13-14)  didnt know anyone else that built.. Never could figure out the covering and got stuck there. I can remeber the rush of seeing that fuse shape up bending those sticks to the formers.....Sure wish I had friends that were doing the same. Didnt get back into airplanes and then rc until my late 20's...

MY scratch built PSS Stealth in the early 90s. 65" long with 48" span. it was like flying a paper plate. It was too light. It weighed 48 ounces with ruervaters and ailerons. I was 30ish then.
