Welcome (back?) to the hobby, and TRF Bill. There are a lot of us old f**rts here, and a wide variety of ages, which is great. While I mostly prefer builder's kits, I still occasionally build an E2X when I just need to fly something! Estes has been getting better ever since the end of the Barry days, and hope they continue to bring us new complex kits as well as stuff to bring kids into the hobby, *and* stay profitable for the long haul.I suppose that at almost 69 I'm considered by most to be an old f**t, but I've now been model making in all it's various forms since 1957.
Oh the joy of carefully broken razor blades and the scars on both my fingers and Mother's kitchen table....and the smell of dope (paint type) and diesel fumes transport me back over 60 years.
But now, relishing a new direction, I've finished a Mercury Redstone, Bullpup, Nike X, and almost finished an Airborne Surveillance Missile.
Just awaiting some motors and wadding to arrive and it might just be all cisterns go, it'll be a nice change from RC Aircraft , boats, helicopters, and not forgetting my Amateur Radio.
73 to all

(Partial to 42, but 73 is pretty cool).
