Trash? Never! Treasure? For me, you bet!

After a huge (12 hour) day on Christmas Eve spent with the removalists emptying 2 large storage units of all our remaining furniture, possessions, building supplies, modelling paraphernalia, & other assorted crap collected over 43 years of marriage, I've started sorting through it - or the modelling stuff at least, thus clearly demonstrating my priorities
There are 4 or 5 flyable yoyos, some partial builds and even a TopFlite Gieseke Nobler kit. With our pending NZ relocation, it'll be yet another couple of years before they circulate. Regardless, some great nostalgic memories, as well as building & flying to look forward to.
For the curious, some preliminary details.

- All American vintage stunter with Mk.1 O.S. 29
- Ambassador vintage stunter, Gold Cup winner 52 & 54? Currently setup for an Aussie Taipan 2.5cc diesel. I started this one for the CL vintage stunt event at the 1988 Australian Bi-Centenial Nats.
- Gieseke Nobler
- Top Flite kit. Scored this about 20 years ago from a work colleague who'd started on the wing before giving it up as too much work. I'll toss his "build" & do a new wing from scratch.
- coreflute OD trainer, with old O.S. 25 plain bearing, flew surprisingly well, bouncing at the hands of several learners, without damage.
- Junior Nobler with early O.S.19 - great flyer
