    When I was in elementary school I remember reading a book about this. The main character, a boy who lived in a large city, set out to build a plane and win an annual contest at their neighborhood armory. I think the book was written in the 50’s. Where I grew up in the 60’s no one built and flew planes like this, but I loved the book and re-read it over and over. Great to see this video. Looks like a lot of fun!

      You're welcome. Just trying to let everyone know that indoor flying is still a "thing". Keep looking, you might just find a new site! Use my videos as motivation! Thanks for watching.

    Another great video but was looking forward to seeing the WWll mass launch. Were you doing the camera work?

      Thank you, Mike. HA HA. I was flying in the WWII mass launch and my camera helper had already left. The nice thing was I won the event with my P51B. A tough battle!

      Pretty sure that design was published in the NFFS Digest but I cannot provide the month and date of the issue. There is a link for the NFFS in the description and I believe that digital copies of the Digest are available for viewing. Thanks for watching.
