Do you have a POTENTIAL NERD or NERDETTE whose nerdistic qualities aren't being fully awakened or developed? Here's something both FUN _AND_ EDUCATIONAL, guaranteed to SPARK THAT WONDERFUL NERD QUALITY that helps so many adults compete in this high-tech world -- building flight-bound model airplanes and gliders! (It's okay ... Older nerds like to build and fly 'em too!)

   Here's just some of the benefits they'll acrue:

  • learn about ELECTRONICS
  • follow a BLUEPRINT
  • catch the flavor of ENGINEERING, CONSTRUCTION, AERONAUTICS
  • create something with their own hands
  • have a _great_ free time filler - who needs TV anyway
  • then enjoy the THRILL of flying a model!

   And here's the specifics ...
