Jim.......I have enjoyed each and every comment that you've made. You'd be surprised if you could see my work shop. I am constantly rebuilding crashed ARF's as well as Kit built Aircraft. You'd be surprised to see the choice's of glue that some kit builders use. I suspect it's because they have not had an accomplished Builder like yourself to assist them. The plain truth is there just aren't that many guy's around that can assist them.
For the most part....I'll bet that very few modelers could even tell you what a Transmute servo was, a Durante servo did, or what was a Bonner, compound escapement used for. Very few kits back in those components days. Love you man Bob
I used the Bonner Vari-Comp in my Smog Hog (thank you very much) That was before I graduated to my Kraft 10 Channel reed set up. Question for you...Have you ever seen a Charley C/G radio system? Still have one (If I knew which box it was in after the move to sunny Fla. I'd get you some pics).
