I'm sitting in the kitchen sipping coffee watching snow flurries outside here in Oakdale, CT. Time to start building something besides an ARF. Have 2 sets of cores and plans for Ron Chidgey's Tiger Tail and Don coleman's Sweetater. Think I've got to do the Tiger Tail first. Had one in 1975 and it flew great Webra 61 and PCS 4 ch. radio. My new version will not be SPA competitive. It will have a brand new Webra 61 three (3) wheels and that nice looking Tiger Tail fin and rudder rather than the Billboard that the SPA versions that I have seen in the newsletter. I'm not looking to win just to have the same plane that I had. A duck may be a duck but my duck will be the duck. I have really enjoyed the Quik Fli builds that are in the forums nice looking original plane. Back in the day those old sixties and original planes sure did fly some real pretty manuevers with the right guys at the stick. You could have asked Ron C., Don C., Jim K., Jim W., Jim M., and Norm P. to name a few and they would say you don't need anything but what they had to get it done.

It's always been the pilot that wins. Oh well time to go build or check the snowblower (think I'll build).

Peace
