Nice read Grey. I use to go to Jet Hanger hobbies in Lakewood Cali and new Larry Wolf for years. He was builder and had everything I needed . And I would get my wood from Superior aircfraft supply down the road about a mile . I miss both of those places . I don't think there is a full service hobby shop left

now that live just North of the St. Louis I havn't found a half way decent HB here
