I probably shouldn't do this, but another addiction from the past has resurfaced.

Had a couple of these probably thirty years ago, it went out of production for some years, now it's back, just at four times the price the others I had cost. It doesn't look like this when you get it, it's a kit, a real kit, balsa and plywood. Built according to plan, it's a screamer, my guess probably 90 mph level, but it's also a ball. And the price given is only the start, by the time I'm done with it, probably I'll be some $600 lighter. Nobody need to complain about the price of gas, the fuel for this thing is about $35 per gallon, available in three gallon lots of quart bottles. And that's only the first one of several different models I want, by spring. Gonna be a busy boy.
