Memories... my friend had the Frog. I used to race my Raider against it all the time up and down the street with him. Good times!

My original was the Tamiya Fox. I actually still have it in a box but over at my brother's place. All original, nothing really broken on it if I recall. Totally 80's paint job on the body with base black, hot pink stripes and lime green paint splatters. sick Boy I had artistic style back then!

My brother-in-law and I used to mess around with the cars. He is a few years younger than me, but that is fine. Anyway, he had the original Hornet which was surprisingly quick. So then, years later, he bought a Super Hornet. It sucked...

Nick,
Never got into the RC car thing, or heli's so far. I'm intrigued by heli's but I'm told they're very difficult to fly. A friend of mine is a real heli pilot for the Canadian Coast Guard (he watched me when I first tried a take-off with my RC amphibian plane.) He thought I was over-correcting after take-off, which is likely because the amphib flys much faster than the glider.

Anyway, that would be great fun to have all the RC enthusiasts bring their models at the next Axiom get-together.

When I first met Ian Colquhoun in the early 1980s, he had a real float plane.

I can't comment on drywall! Funny mix of posts. . .

Awsome, Nick. Your thread has now reached 21 pages!

It has included HT, soffits, fender benders, I-Phone cameras, Apple bashing, college applications, saw blades, old Burger King ad campaigns, a German Shepherd, BACON (the new neutral), panty hose, RC and lies about Mark's high school dating resume.

I am soooo impressed!

Before the thread is nominated for an award, I should admit that I lied about dating Tamiya.

In high school, I pretty much only dated her medium-format sister, Mamiya.

The guys I work with bought a German RC helicopter (can't remember the name) that had I believe eight small electric motors and propellers that they were able to program different flight sequences from their PC, it was amazing just how nimble, quick and precise that thing was. They actually attached an infrared camera onto it and would fly it over agricultural fields to determine 'hot' or 'weak' spots within the crop, would then download the info and images for the farmers so that they could prescription spray the desired rates and types of chemicals to be sprayed.

It was an expensive little devil also.
