After seeing the article in Make Magazine I just had to have a blast from the past and build an old style balsa frame RC plane. Since I already had the radio on hand from another project (and even that was a $20 shipped bargain on ebay) other than the cost of the Kit (Around $25 shipped at the time I'm doing this) some covering material, a new micro servo (I only had one micro on hand), and some miscellaneous hardware/tools (About $30).

I started building around March 6th and finished on April 16th. I took a break from it for about a week while my parents were in town but mainly built for an hour or two each night while waiting on dinner to cook or listening to TV.
