Wake up! Time to fly!
This is how I got started in all things RC. We had a shop teacher that offered an after school class for "Model Flight and Roketry" Back in my school days when we walked both ways up hill in the snow carrying the horse wearing one sneaker on one foot and newspaper on the other foot we didn't have cool things like STEM classes. I am so glad someone took time out of their personal lives to invest in a group of kids to generate interest in such a great life time hobby.
Some of the ones i had done over the years were the standard straight tube wooden nose cone "Starter" kits. The "Fat Boy" a molded plastic X5 kit that came with my first Estes "Official" launch pad including the ignition module with the special key and arming lights when I was down in FLA visiting my dad who took me to Cape Canaveral where I got the kit. then the two most intricate ones were a wooden RC glider model that had twin booms like a OV10 Bronco I forget the official kit name and a huge 4 foot scale model of an aim 9 sidewinder missile. Got the kit and built it not knowing I could not legally get the motors to put it in the air at the time so I gave it to my nephews for decoration in their play room.
This does make my ears perk up and think I wanna try to design and build something but my winter blahs have sapped most of the remaining motivation from me until the sun starts showing more and I can actually BE out side for a bit.
