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.

My simple work area. Just a cork board on our living room table.
