Jim,

Tropical stortm Fay was down to nothing by the time it got to the Fort Walton Beach area, just some breezy winds and a little rain, not even as much as we needed.

I know what you mean about GP dropping several Lanier planes. I bought this Stinger 40 when the price went way down, less than $100, just before they ran out. It could be that GP is having they redesigned slightly and being made by their manufacturers, rather than the one that Lanier used. I can't see them killing all the Stingers. They were too popular. The 40 size needs to be redone with 2 aileron servos and maybe wider ailerons, although one aileron servo is good for water flying.

I hope to get up to the lake next weekend or the one after. Next weekend is Labor Day, so skip that one. I also have a new Arrow delta to test fly. Right now we have a bind in the right elevon that we are trying to get rid of. And it needs some trim on top. JBA .56 for power.
