Boys And Their Toys

Remote control jets! Looks like a lot of fun, a friend who used to fly them says they are. My dad had one when I was a kid too, but it was nothing like these.

I used to be heavy into modeling. My 1st love was control line acrobatics but RC was fun too. Never got into jets as the weight to power ratio back then wasn't really up to snuff.

kdp, here in canton ohio is the (pres.) mckinley museum. down stairs at the museum is a model train set up showng the train traveling through a model of canton from the turn of the century. very cool. also there is an old time street set up to walk through. upstairs is dinosaur exhibits and natural as well as scientific exhibits. many of these are hands on displays for kids to interact with. it is a great place.
