RADIO CONTROL PLANE Jack Oglesbee Realtor at The Michigan Group Brighton Michigan

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with RE/MAX PLATINUM

NORTHSTAR. is it's name, and flies from water.

I BUILT THIS PLANE FROM A KIT ( A BOX OF STICKS AND SOME STAMPED OUT PARTS). I HAVE BUILT MANY PLANES OVER THE YEARS AND IF YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF CUTTING AND SHAPING WOOD, YOU WOULD LOVE THIS HOBBY. THE CUSTOM OF BUILDING OF PLANES BY INDIVIDUALS IS NOT DONE AS MUCH ANY MORE. IN THE PAST 10 YEARS (MORE OR LESS)  ARF   (ALMOST READY TO FLY) PLANES ARE BEING BUILT IN FACTORIES  AND SOLD IN HOBBY STORES. SOME OF THE EARLY ARF'S WERE MADE OF LIGHT WEIGHT AND BRITTLE PLASTIC AND DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. TODAY THE FACTORY BUILT PLANES ARE ALSO MADE OF BALSA WOOD AND PLYWOOD AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS WOODS, PLASTICS, AND METALS. THESE PLANES HOLD UP VERY WELL. OF COURSE THIS ALWAYS DEPENDS ON THE PILOT.  ONE SHOULD NEVER TRY TO FLY A MODEL WITHOUT AN INSTRUCTOR, YOU WOULD PROBABLY CRASH. IT IS VERY EASY TO GET A PLANE TO TAKE OFF FROM THE GROUND, GETTING IT BACK ON THE GROUND IN ONE PIECE IS THE CHALLENGE.

You go Buck Rogers. How high, how fast, and what is the range? Looks really cool.

Hi Charlie, I have a 6 year old grandson who loves planes. I am hoping maybe next year he will fly with a buddy box.

Have a great day, Jack

Nice picture of the plane.  Thanks for commenting on my log. I too miss being at the TMG.  I have to work, and I have to have gauranteed income.  I can't afford to keep "hoping" a house will sell.  So as of right now it has to be this way.  As for the bloggin, nothing has come of it yet.  Good information and connectiongs with other realtors.  I hope to see results soon.  Thanks for writing me. Please keep in touch.  I want to hear good things about you.  Lu
