It was 1943 and I was 9 years old when my mother decided to let me have a single edge razor blade. It was the beginning of a lifetime hobby of building model airplanes. It started with 10 cent Comet, Megow, and Ace Whitman rubber band kits, My first engine was an ignition Bullet 29 on a Playboy Free Flight. Then came U-Control with Victor Stanzel's V-Shark. Jim Walker set the flight circle's on fire with a Bell Crank, Then came the Korean War ( Police Action) It was 4 years and I got lucky and came home. One of my first stops was the local Hobby Shop. It was in about 1955 when a single channel rudder only radio called Citizenship hit the hobby. I have seen 75 years of model airplane growth that has been amazing, I was in the insurance business for all of my working life and my son has followed in my footsteps. I hope you find as much enjoyment out of living as I have and enjoy our hobby. I wish you and yours the best.

If you’re like me and love 1/2A model aircraft then Half A Model Airplane Plans is for you! They have other planes besides the 1/2 A ones but the .049 ones are dear to my heart. I’ve bought from them before and they deliver the goods every time! Prices that can’t be beat ! They get your order into the mail right away and it always arrives on time. Can’t beat that no matter how hard you try. They also included printed details that you can cut out and glue to the plane. I give them 5 stars!
