Thank you guys for the floods of memories.  I started reading Grotto's post and then Atlanta's and pictures of standing on the hobby shop loading ramp cutting my header 20 years ago came rushing to my brain.  Thank you guys a lot.  That's exactly what I was needing.  Thank you John for the Bolly post as well.  I actually read that tonight (Happy New Year to me) and it's really interesting to see it from a total scientific point of view.  I actually understand the dynamics a little better.

I posted a pic before, Atlanta, in one of the other posts.  You commented but when I have the spinner polished and ready to fly, I'll grab some more and update this thread.  This LA-1 was one of the few planes that I actually built myself (with A LOT of hand holding).  I moved to Arizona and when I moved back to Texas, my best friend had it in exactly the same shape as I left it 18 years ago.  Thanks to Ed V., it's now ready to go with some minor details left to finish.  Now....just to find a paved runway.

Happy New Year and thanks again guys,
Scott
