Whoa Pardner,Stop the sanding, stop the gluing!!!!!
We gotta talk about this...

Dave, Dave Dave.....

Can you really imagine "Tony Bonnetti" flying his "TroubleMaker" with fixed gear? Can you picture in your mind a T-38 with FIXED gear? We are talking a "SLICK" pointy nosed, light little bird,which deserves the right to be as "Ballistic" as its namesake...

As one loudly crying voice out here in "Cyber Pattern", I humbly beg you to reconsider the above quoted statement.


Dave I bet there are members in your club who have some fine old Retracts just sitting around doing nuttin. I said a prayer to the R/C God of Ballistic Pattern and asked him to forgive your momentary lapse of conscienceness. [sm=wink_smile.gif]

True story, I was visiting with some members of my club just 4 days ago, casually "hanger flying" at the field. When a member mentioned he had an original "Patriot" partially built with....ahem a brand new set of Rhom Air Retracts for it. I openly admit to salivating all over the front of my shirt. I casually asked him if he would consider selling it or was he going to complete it. He said let me think about it and just yesterday we talked and I will be the new owner of the kit and my 'real' quest for the Rohm Air retracts ! So I'm sure this is not a unique situation in a club of any size with some "silver haired" old Members! Worth a Shot I promise.
