You have a headstart now, microdon2. I lost most of mine in a fire last January, along with most of the accesories, books, etc. I now have a great oportuniy to start afresh. Some things that I lost have no replacement, but the engines by and large do. I can't replace the Fox i used to win my first contest, but should I choose to do do so I can buy a close replica.

The family bible from the 1700s I can't replace, but by the same token none of my family members or companion animals were lost to the blaze.

Enjoy your engines. They provide a a marvelous sourse of entertaimment and a great way to broaden your knowlege.


Even if never flown in an airplane the engines are an endless source of entertainment and offer a never ending source of questions to be answered.
