Plane (Must Have) |
Do
not rush out and buy new planes. It is Ernie's feeling that classic
planes (found at any flea market) work better and are a better value
than new planes. New planes generally require more tuning than a
classic. We have reconditioned classics available in our store. They
are guaranteed by Ernie to work to perfection and are generally less
expensive than new planes. |
