Richie and I have been building and flying models since we were kids...although we didn't know each other then. The nostalgia factor is a big part of why we keep doing it! Thanks David for a great comment, much appreciated!

Nice flights Mike and Richie. After losing my first capacitor plane built to your design, I built another two, one for me and one for my son. I lost mine today - again my fault for not judging the slight breeze and it drifted exactly where I didn't want it to go.

Wow! Stu, We don't know if we should console or congratulate you! In either case, you have earned a hallowed spot in the pantheon of sonex413 builder/fliers! Although we've received reports of flyaways, you are the first to report a double!! Get some pix next time, will ya'? Mike and Richie

Haha! So you had a Thunder Tiger too? LOL. Those were the Yugo of the model engine world. I remember old timers talking about old GHQ motors from the 1930's the same way in the magazines when I was a kid. They also had an unenviable reputation, and stories would occasionally surface about someone who claimed to have actually flown one. Glad you liked the vid Ray, Carnivore build show and tell is in editing, take care buddy.

You are really old school modellers in the best meaning of the word. In addition you give us the feeling of being old friends standing next to you. Thanks to you and Richie from across the pond. Go on like that.

That's awesome! Those planes glide so slow and even it looks like they could float up there all day. See you in the Air!

Thanks! We've had a couple of nice still air evenings lately...they're the best. Any air movement at all and it's better to leave 'em in the car! Take care buddy, keep 'em flyin'!

Next best thing to being there is watching you two guys. You make me feel like we all grew up together. Thanks for that.

Thanks very much Stephen! Glad you could come along!

Mike, the way you’re snatching those cap planes out of the air, you could easily catch for the Red Sox. You might even be good enough to catch for the Minnesota Twins. Fun vid!

Thanks Ron!! Those things move so slowly even I can catch them!

at this point it's just a spek..lmao man this is some stuff I know about these builds but "never" saw anyone fly one this is all I have ever seen and man it is worth hanging around to watch...thank you!

As soon as I saw the engine on the first one I turned down the volume. Lol Good flight Richie! Now... I’m not gonna say you slowed down the video on that second one, but... ... ha ha ha Golden hour Magic, Boys! What’s all the clickity click each time something goes up? I’m mean... if it ain’t something that’s none of my business. Thanks guys!!!

"clickety clacking" is the micro switch on the zoom function...wish I had a real video camera. No video trickery...that plane really IS that slow....looks unreal up there in still air...fun and relaxing until you notice it's heading slowly for the woods! Richie says hi and thanks......Mike
