Nice. I grew up next to a large field where my GF's brother now goes to HS. But when I was in JH and HS it was a large field where I drove my dirtbike on occasion and most weekends old guys flew gliders. I hung out with those guys just learning about them (the gliders).
So one year for Christmas my parents bought me a kit called the Sturdy Birdy. It was PVC, aluminum and balsa and looked like it was made in someone's garage. I think it took me nearly a year to build. I ended up cutting my fingers on the propeller and crashing it twice before it was destroyed.
