Maybe I should hire the neighbor's kid...

So I'm building a Guillow's 16" (guess which model...g'wan, guess), and the kits say they're designed for ages 10 and up.

If there's a 10-year-old out there who enjoys cutting eensy notches out of split-happy balsa with a razor-sharp blade, I'd like to shake his hand. And maybe retain his services.

Why do people want to try flying one of these things, anyway? I hardly even want to pick it up. But that's what I get for hating to work with plastic glue.

I was actually looking at hot little sexy toy airplanes the other day in the craft store. no Warhawks, but I found a neat little drop-wing plane i forget the name of. air porn.

mmmm. good luck with the balsa, btw. i'd much rather work with plastic glue. even though it kills.

air porn.

Hahaha, it sure feels like it. "Whoo! Flash those wing guns, baby!"

And thanks, it's going pretty well, aside from balsa's tendency to split. But since I'm not planning on flying her, I can reinforce all I want without worrying about weight. Will probably get a pic or two up soon.
