i don't know how many planes i've started and never finished. bought a futaba radio, and an os 40 for one plane and years later sold them on ebay unused. i was really big into cleveland model plans and have built a lot of those..my favorite the Hall gullwing, the biggest, a b-17 with a 4 ft span. none of those ever got beyond the point where they would be covered. i have two micro helicopters i can't fly, an electric powered p-51 that's never left the ground. i've only had one, count it, one, model airplane fly the way it was supposed to. i have a friend who flies 1/4 scale warbirds who says he can teach me, but i don't know. all the spare money(now there's a concept) is going into telescopes and my daughter's student loans right now.
as far as razors and hones go, i've backed off buying. i haven't sent a razor out since nov 2010 and i get a passable shave from my own honing so i must be doing something right.
