    Getting old and depressed...

    Join the local chapter of the "Popular Rotorcraft Assocoation" and go visit PRA's HQ and Museum at Mentone.....go for a joy-flight, and start building........be sure to power it with a 912 4-stroke. Alternatively, consider one of these "Dragonfly's" with a 912 4-stroke...
