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!
