I haven't died or anything, but it did become time to clear the old shop. What a task. 26 years of accumulated 'stuff'. Many pickup loads went to the dump. So, my shop is empty, ready for destruction and I'm not sure I can do much in the meantime other than 'think' about the model and hope that I can replicate what I did on the covering of that first wing. There were a good many steps. I hate putting stuff like that off. My tools are spread all over the place which might be too difficult to find until what's left goes back into the new shop. I hope I can find my battery chargers box! I can fly during this downtime. LOL!!!!

Just as a reminder, one of our club members lost radio control of an Ollie this week. The last sighting seemed to have it slowly circling and drifting down wind... still some power to the prop. Who knows where it landed... or maybe it hasn't yet? I have had the same thing happen. It's a really good idea to make sure all of your models have your name and contact info inside of them. I don't know if he did or not but I sure didn't when I lost mine. Other things could be 'thought about'. Such as a chase car ready and mobile phones or some other method to talk it back or down. And, setting up failsafe isn't a bad idea either... perhaps throttle down... maybe a bit of rudder to force a circle and maybe some braking to bring it down before it is miles away? I know first hand it is a rather helpless and empty hearted feeling.
