Ram-Bro don't be intimidated! I love the thought of carving through nice old balsa (build that thing). True joy, not toughness really. ...Scale dail..I think I'm getting a tummy ache looking at that broken P-38 "project" of yours. You trully must be tuffest of the tuff here. 'scuse me while I retire to the bathroom...arrrghh...huh......raaaalph!
