Larry, thanks for reminding me heat melts varnish. That saved a bunch of time. And I have 5 tx, and 19 planes that are (theoretically) flight worthy. I have 8 Tx battery packs. I"m not counting the rx packs . I'm using an FMA Super Nova charger/cycler. Two of the tx packs failed so badly (less than 10% charge taken after cycling down) that they have found the way to the battery happy hunting ground. I'm prepping three planes. My 60 sized tail dragger sport, a 46 P-40 (that has never been flown) and a 25 sized Gremlin that I know like the back of my hand. Taxi testing the Gremmie may be problematic. I can't get my glow stick to take a charge, same for my starter. I have flat ass forgotten how the programing functions on my radios work ( I feel real stupid). Just renewed my AMA membership. I used to be a solid, intermediate flyer,but for my first trip back to the field I'll treat myself like a newbie.
