I am a really lousy typist so I don't do much of it.

I understand completely. I never learned to type properly but I've memorized the entire keyboard and now, using only my index fingers, I can give an experienced typist at any office a run for her or his money. I learned to type fast mostly on this very forum when I joined way back.
BTW...did you ever get around to even starting your Agcat? Just curious. (type yes or no..... )LOL

Status: offline 		UPDATES on the ARF DH AG CAT............. Subject to change as time moves on but as for now this is the prototype broken down. I'm sure each order is subject to be different according to your desired level of completion by Duane. I will complete the prototype from this point on.

you can contact me at keith.fontenot@jacobs.com

Status: offline 		To all inquiring about the AgCat........

I received the DH Ag Cat yesterday afternoon (03/19/08) I can tell you now that this is one of the finest durable ARF's that I've ever seen and put my hands on. Duane really hit a homerun on this one. Everything in the kit is top notch quality. You won't be disapointed. Now I need to purchase me a new digital camera so that I can post progress pics as I move along with the completion process.

Just for fun for you guys to look at....I'm think of finishing the DH Ag Cat in one of these color schemes. Still undecided.

Status: offline 		anothercrashpilot,

Thanks for the good words..... . I like seeing the pictures that others post also. It keeps the forum very interesting. I think from the conversation I had with Duane that it is the same size as the Fitzgerald kit. Since Easter is this weekend it will probably be next week before I can confirm measurements.

To all....Have a safe and Happy Easter..........

Just for fun....see a video of I think the RCS 150 Radial.

http://www.rcshowcase.com/

Highlight RCS engines....pick any radial....click on see a video...

Status: offline 		Brian...I wrote a response in the cropduster thread. I'm glad you've taken charge of this project. Honestly, I was going to build this from Fitzgerald plans. I think I'm going to cancel that plan and wait for the ARF, and it definately looks like it will be worth the wait. NEVER EVER thought ANYONE would produce this as an ARF....happy to say I was wrong.
Brian, take pictures with your new camera....we're watching you!
