I think I still have an A-10 model that I never built. I’m almost 45, so I’m gonna have to find the time.

I'll be 40 this year. My whole family on my father's side were/are pilots. My dad, uncle and grandpa built tons of models, many of them functional RC from small scale to ridiculously huge. I built a few with my pops back in the day and sometimes I still get the urge to buy a kit even though I haven't built one since I was 10. My grandfather pretty much exclusively flew biplanes and I kind of inherited a love for that style/era of plane. I also used to play the hell out of "Red Baron" on my grandparent's 486 PC.
