You wanted pictures - here are a few.

This is a picture of my newest plane. It is a 1/5th semi-scale model of a Decathlon.

I still have to put the ID numbers on the sides of the fuselage. It had its 'maiden' flight a couple of weeks ago and flew quite well. I flew it again last Sunday and am getting used to it somewhat.

This is a hobby of mine from an early age. I remember building models of airplanes from about age 10! Gads! That would be 65 years of modeling! You would think I would get tired of it but there is just something there that fascinates me. The plane above as well as those in my "Hanger" are all radio controlled. I have a couple in the Hanger that have never flown. I truly love the building aspect of modeling.

Of course, my second love is photography. I have been giving lectures at the Botanic Gardens and for garden clubs on basic photography. Normally I do a series of 2 lectures and a follow-up "critique" session. In fact, I'm scheduled to give a critique session on the 20th - wow! that's next week! These sessions are fun and hopefully my 'students' are turning out some worthwhile photos by now.

I have had other diverse hobbies, such as Amateur (Ham) Radio. This was fun for many years but I drifted away from it and never have gone back. I still have some equipment but it is gathering dust now! I have delved into working in stained glass but alas, that interest has also passed.

Oh well, so much to do and so little time!

More later.
