Hey, Irish. Yeah, the weather is not very user friendly here today. But, here in the "south", Atlantic, Cape May, Salem, and Cumberland Counties, it's supposed to be mostly rain, but a switch over to all wet heavy snow tonite. We will see what that amounts to. The northern counties are getting hit hard, though. It makes quite a mess when it get to be that wet and heavy snow.

As far as S&W is concerned, well, the two hobby shops we had were carrying it exclusively, so everyone got used to using it. But, there were never any complaints, either. Now, though, with no hobby shops around, we get together and get it by the case.. by the truckload. A couple of groups, mostly the Pattern folks, buy it by the drum.

Visibility... I had a plane that had transparent wing covering... a flying wing. It was a Ripmax Rapier (google it.. neat plane). Fast as hell, and fun to fly. After the first flight, I took it home and ripped off the clear on the bottom and put something on it, I seem to recall Yellow.. that I wasn't able to see through. That thing would virtually disappear when it was up in the air with that transparent covering. And, it wasn't all that big on top of that, so the general visibility was terrible. I DO like my big planes.

Well, as as your son-in-law is concerned, I am sorry to hear that he won't get full use of his arm. That's gotta be tough, especially for an active person.

Later..

Dick.
