Edgar Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 When I was a kid, gliders were 10¢ and Sleek Streaks were 25¢. How much did this one cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost ashamed to say. It was 6.99! I had to have it. But I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 My 15 year old son recently told me one of his inspirational bloggers commented that if you were to produce anything nostalgic that has gone out of production it would make money. I bought “Thrills” gum not too long ago, for only the second, and last time in my life. “Gold Nuggets” gum was a hit with the kids though! I wonder if you could take out a drone with a Jet-Stream?!

NBPK402 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I remember those, but there is no way I can remember the brand, model, and price.Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Once you get old enough, you'll find that you remember fifty years ago better than you remember fifty minutes ago. 🙁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I can remember certain things from the 70s, but not many. And I am going to be eligible for SS next year. I am finding I remember less and less from years ago, and def less from an hour ago. LolSent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can. I have some [now old] know-how with R/C. I was building drones and 2oz helicopters before the electronics made it too easy Airplanes want to fly. Adding a little power will keep them in the air. Helicopters have a very poor glide ration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred the ones with the plastic clip that held the wings. Those allowed for more experimenting. We built biplanes and played around with swept wing... Kids!?!
