Well.... I spent five bills. Five boxes of balsa, one box of spruce, box of wire, box of Nelson covering, eight gold-n-rod bags, box of K&S tubes, box of misc hardwood blocks, box of tires, box of miscellaneous hardware, box of covering items, custom wire bender, oh and a dozen kits.... I got home and told my wife I loved her very much. She asked if I brought home more than two airplanes and if I spent over five hundred. Um yea... no... I love you.

I may not be able to go to Toledo, but I feel like I won the lottery. If I was a gold panner, this would be the nugget that got me leaping for joy.
I ended up leaving the ikon kits. I told the family if they really wanted to, they could be patient and sell them for $180-220 each online. Sounds like they could be able to make some money if they are patient and do some more research. Same went with the aerocoupes.
Some club members are going to buy a few things from me later, and I’ll donate a couple kits when the time is right.
