Frog kits - have a look at this site -
Welcome to the House of Frog
It's a delight. The plans for many of the smaller Frog kits have been scanned, and you can download them as PDFs. Nip down to the local model shop, get some light balsa, and get building. Keep the weight down, and you will have nice little fliers.
Another place to get the nostalgia going is "Small Flying Arts" :
SFA Forum
There's LOTS of people like me who are into reliving their youth - this forum is full of them. Lots of ex-industry people, and a few professional aerodynamicists as well.
