To Dave's Hobby Shack.
This is my MAIN love of life (other than Susan, of course).

Well, it's been 8 years (it's positively amazing how time flies when you're really having fun) since the "great aircraft building year" and
most all the planes are doing just fine.  The latest "building" project is also a whole new chapter in flying for our family -
Dale's learning
to fly after nearly 10 years of being around the planes.  He's even already got his own pages here in the Hobby Shack.  

The old
Goldberg Sr. Falcon, which I originally built in 1974, still flies nearly every weekend - probably the best RC plane I'll ever fly.  Go
ahead, take a look-see at what she looked like before the restoration and then click on that picture to see her today.  Quite a change, I
can tell you.

Going one even better, there's the
Great Lakes 2T-1A pages, which chronicle an even older plane than the Falcon, the famous 2T-1A
sport/trainer biplane of the 1930's.  The model dates from 1961 and is being totally restored to flying status, so she's definitely going to
be one of the olde
r planes around that are still flying.

And, if you want a plane out of the annals of history, take a look-see at my latest acquisition of 2010 - an original Hal DeBolt design - the
Mark-2 version of his famous
Champion.  Originally designed in 1954, this is the 1967 version.

Then, take a look at the
Skylark CL aerobatic ship and Spirit 100 RC sailplane along with the Chronicles of the Spirit.  There's a page for
the Great Planes kit of the
CAP-21 from about 1985, the Great Planes Piper J-3 Cub, and the SIG Akromaster.

Finally, there's my "I've wanted it forever" plane,
Dynaflite's "Bird of Time" - probably one of the greatest model sailplanes ever
designed.  It's true, I've wanted it forever - since I originally saw one fly in the mid 1960's.  Now I have one.

Well, come on in y'all, there's a lot to see here.

Note: Each page of the Hobby Shack, just like all the other divisions of Wanderings, has a complete directory so you can go where-ever you'd like.  Or, you can follow the
"next" buttons to take the tour of the entire shack.

Dave's Hobby Shack has never had a "links" page, an oversight that will be corrected
soon.  However, I've found a website that has most everything that anyone would want
to know about model airplanes, and I
highly recommend it for anyone looking to get into
the sport, or learn more about it.  It's very comprehensive, outstandingly well organized
and easy to follow.
