Planes, Planes, Planes!

Yesterday I bought the kids some rubber band powered balsa wood planes. It also caused me to finally purchase a few parts for my radio controlled airplane that took a rather "hard" landing a couple of years ago.

Since Peter and I were having such great luck with the rubber band planes, he and I decided to take the "big" plane for a spin. It was a little windy, which makes it tricky (and gives me excuses to explain any hard landings), but other than a "taxi-ing" issue which directed the plane into my car....it all went fairly well.

Peter has already decided we will be out there again tomorrow......and he is wondering when he gets to take over the controls.

Boys and their toys.

One happy kid.
