Thank you Steve, sorry for your loss. Heck, you can buy an ARF for probably less than you can build. You might try SS Hobbies.com here in Missouri. It's run by a nice guy named Joe who's owned the shop for many years. I had a long talk with him a few days ago and he's holding a spun aluminum tuned pipe for my Enya .09 for me until I get paid on the 26th. I offered him my phone # and E-mail address but he didn't take it. He said he would just hold it aside for me and wrote my name on it. He's a laid back country sort of fellow and specializes in control line aircraft. I learned of his shop through an RCU member. I will probably buy my Brodak Oriental from him depending on how the tuned pipe deal goes down.

Thanks again. Fellas like you on the RCU website are helping me ease back into a hobby I used to love. Will again, I'm sure, if I don't "lawn dart" my aircraft.

Regards,
Bill
