Hi, my name is Jon... I gained an interest in planes from my dad. He was in the air force reserves until my sister and I came along. He had quite a fleet of plastic models, mostly WWII stuff. I figured it would be neat to do rc flight, but didn't think it was possible on my budget, the fear of crashing several hundred dollars worth of airplane is a little unnerving, but then I stumbled onto a flite test video on YouTube a couple weeks ago... found the free plans on the website and fired up the printer right away. My first choice was the old fogey. Most reviews claim it's an easy flier and I like its looks. I bought extra foam board (in case of mistakes) but construction was super easy, so I ended up with a bunch of extra foam. I figured I would build a free-flight glider to have something to fly while I wait for funding for the electronics for the fogey, so I whipped up a tiny trainer with the glider nose and no electronics. Of course it's too windy and cold outside to try the glider, so I don't know how well it flies...
Can't wait for tax returns to come through so I can get the old fogey in the air...
