Minnesota's Rocketman is going to make some good Christmas cash from this kit.

Oh yea... been watching that one.

All I can say is that I'm glad that the classic modeling world considers the BA, even the 20 size, a real treasure.

But this humble servant has Santa Claus duties for two little ones. Gotta think about them first!

At $299 US it wasn't me.

Whoa!

299 green ones... Definitely high rollers.

A'ight, fess up! Who could not live another day without a BA 20?

I'm glad to announce that the BA 30 laser kit I'm working on at a molasses pace will be less than half that - or so I hope!

Since I see that Mitch and David are hanging out, I'll take advantage of the opportunity and wish y'all a merry Xmas and happy holidays - you too Jim!

Yep, I'm stuck monitoring my Prop Failures thread. []

Sorry guys, I should've put that somewhere else. I was hoping to get a Pattern perspective on the issue but I should have known that it would go "viral".

Anyway, Merry Christmas to All, I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

I'm still waiting for Santa to bring me my winter build. I think it is a plane that represents the turning point from Pattern to IMAC. Mr. Rusty Dose knows it well.

Kraft Super Fli

I was bidding on a Bridi Dirty Birdy and lost. I got frustrated. I need a winter build, she needs to get me something that I'll actually want.

The local hobby store has had this kit on a shelf forever.

I think it's mine, my spies have reported.

Yikes Mitch!

I hadn't ventured into yor thread until now. That's pretty nasty. I used to use MA glass props all the time in the olden days but like Ralph, I used to balance them because they did cause some bad vibration at times. I used them in the training days because they would withstand the occasional ground strike. My K&B's did seem to perform better though with TF power props.

Might want to try APC's on those bullets!

I had no idea this kit was up for sale. Probably wouldn't have paid that much though. Nice collector kit.

David,

I just posted the following in Mike's BA60 thread but thought it might be worth re-posting here in case you are following. Your input would be appreciated.

BA60 builders,

Do you happen to recall whether the TE of the BA stab is tapered toward the tip or is it constant?

In other words, if one were to loft a set of stab ribs for a framed up stab, would the ribs look more like those to the left or the right in the drawing below?

Thanks, David.
