All:

Well, our little band is growing. We began with TomDump, SkinRash, Eladed, Don the Oldest Son, and your humble (well, maybe not so humble) interlocutor, me. Then we got the Sailor of the Nobility, Baron Swabby. Finally, we have been privileged to have the first three posts of Weiss the Wary.

And a big welcome to you, Weiss the Wary.

And I am jealous at having no invitation to the coming soiree. But at the same time I'm relieved that I don't have either to refuse it, or risk the family jewels to the cold by accepting it. I have heard many tales of brass monkeys becoming sterile when visiting up your way.

Now to RC.

SinkRaft, the 4*60 is a nice plane, but not as nice as the 4*40. the 60 is basically an enlargement of the 4*40 with no refinement. The refined 4*60 is the Venture 60, designed by the same man who did the 4*40 - Bruce Tharpe left Sig and the 4*60 was done by another employee there. Bruce put all the improvements in the Venture 60.

Just sticking my nose into your selection again.

Bill.

PS: I'm sure all the members of the little group know, but for the odd lurker "Weiss" is the German translation of Gary496's surname. wr.
