Jerry,
What are you planning to power your new Cardinal and Oriental with? Or is it too early to tell? I plan on adding a few more planes to my collection over the winter. I'm thinking fairly large as I just picked up a couple of LA 46s to put in them. I picked up a few FP 20s and will be building something in the 300 - 360 square inch" range for the grand kids after they learn to fly the .049s.
Let us know how you are progressing from time to time.
Tight lines,
Tom Perry
