FEW INDEED ARE THOSE OF MY GENERATION WHO DIDN'T UNFOLD THOSE OH, SO OFFICIAL MODEL AIRPLANE PLANS, PIN THEM TO A SOFT "HOMASOTE" BOARD AND PROCEED TO LAY THOSE "STRINGERS ALONG THE FUSELAGE, WINGS, RUDDER AND STABILIZER. FEWER STILL ARE THOSE WHO DIDN'T SPEND HOURS BUILDING THESE WORKS OF ART, AND TAKING THEM TO SOME HIGH POINT, SETTING THEM ON FIRE, AND EXPERIENCING A SCALE MODEL AIRPLANE CRASH! YOU'RE A CARD CARRYING "STICK MODEL" BUILDER IF YOU REMEMBER "COMET," "TESTOR'S," AND "GUILLOWS!"
