Stuntmaster model plane

Little model airplane has a motor, but it appears to be seized. This brought back fond memories of my father. He had three brothers and back in the 60's they all got into building model airplanes which they would then fly in a nearby field. They were so competitive that the planes got bigger and bigger, each trying to outdo the other. Finally, one day one of them built a plane so big, it wouldn't take off at all, and that was the biggest laugh of all!
