The skill and patience it takes to build and fly these things impresses me. I had a kit to build one gifted to me forever ago. The book that came with it, I started to read but it was too intimidating. The box was just full of sheet balsa, basically.
I eventually let the kit go (sans book, not sure what became of it) at a garage sale. I still like to watch them fly. Mo enjoyed it too, for a briefer period than I'd have stayed.
They look pretty big next to their owners, but they sure get small in a hurry when they're being flown.
It was almost too windy for them to fly, but not quite. Same as what we ran into launching rockets this morning.
