Hey, it's just fun for me to see a 14 year old that is actually open to learning about this stuff. I made a lot of money between the ages of 18 and 25 by building race engines and restoring old cars, engines and all. I have built several show winners as well as race winners and I hated to move out here cause it kinda meant the end of that for me, but it was fun and when I was your age I wasn't into models, I was already working in my Dad's shop turning wrenches on antique cars. I rebuilt my first V-8 when I was 12 and from there I was hooked. You definately have much more knowledge on R/C's and Nitro enginesa than I do and I think it's great when people can openly share their knowledge and realise that each has an area of expertise without getting their feelings hurt. I goota go for now, going to go do some handloading for my target rifle in case I get to go to the gun club this weekend, but thanks again for all the good information.

have fun,
George
