So today is my dad's bday and I got him a new toy. Hell when your dad is 79 it's hard to find something he needs, right? So you resort to toy's and techno gadgets. Last year for Fathers day my mom and me got him a wireless weather station with all the extras. He loves it, yet another great gift.
So on to his Bday present. I got him THIS. A buddy and myself have talked about getting into RC Planes. When I was talking to my dad about it, I could tell on the phone he was excited for me, as he used to play back in the day, he even still has some of the old stuff in the garage. My how things have changed.. 
My buddy has flown them before, I have never ventured into this mess, as I don't want to spend 4-8 hours building something only to crash it and destroy it in 5 mins. Oh but wait, this was my thinking years ago, today this stuff is pretty strong and durable. This plane I got my dad is made of foam, and replacement parts are readily available. We might give it a go tonight, or tomorrow. Not sure just yet. If all goes well, I am sure I will delve into the realm of RC Planes. He can't have one that is fun, and I not have one of course. You know the guy and toy thing right? Yes, he who has the most toys wins. Period..
So happy Birthday Dad, I hope you like your present! I hope to get more like it in the years to come..
Maybe some pictures later...hopefully of a plane flying of course...
