        Had one of those planes also ! Always ended up just using it like a weed wackier on the grass in the field where we flew it ! Still was a lot of fun ! Didn’t they burn nitro methane fuel ?

          I once got an electric submarine that ran on batteries and fired torpedoes!!! Got tired of that pretty quick! It was about 3 feet long best I remember.

              I had one of those air planes with the engine that took a special fuel. My know it all uncle filled it up with Zippo lighter fluid and it melted the fuel cell and that was the end of that . I never even got the chance to crash it after that !

                    My favorite present I guess was an Atari game system man I played the heck out of some pac-man, frogger, pole position, pitfall, and river raiders. Seems like I got that and a bean bag at the same time.

                      I bought an RC car for my son one time that would go over 60 MPH. We has a full set of pinion gears with the highest one with the fewest teeth actually was the fastest. It would go 0 to 60 in no time.

                      We put a late model body on it and I made a side board from lexan for it when we went oval racing.

                      It was a special toy and car. We won lots of trophies and plaques with it.

                          That car meant so much to me. It wound up being stolen from our house and I never saw it again.
