Watching James May re-runs on Quest I'm inspired to make a balsa plane. The last one I made was in 1973? and I don't think I ever managed to get one to fly decently.

I'm now a little bit older, slightly more patient and have more than 10p pocketmoney to spend.

Any suggestions for a cool thing for me to get/ build/ fly?

I remember making one of those "back in the day", now you've made me hit Amazon... this one's pretty cheap and could be fun:
