'Evening folks!

busy thread while I was out. I'm glad some of you are enjoying the fruits of my sore back! just kidding...

In order:

Paul, thanks for posting. I hope you enjoy the ride! Things actually don't stay neat - they just somehow magically come together before pictures. I've got a balsa fairy who also likes to sort out the tools .

Sugarfox, yea, I actually found some of them nylon Top Flite boilable props from days of yore while poking around. One day I'll have to tell you about the guys at my LHS - you wouldn't believe it - a bunch of odd balls, one more eccentric than the other. The form of conversation is what is otherwise known as yelling. Usually, I'm lucky if I get half a word in. Yesterday for example I was trying to explain the concept of a retract strut axle. Response - never seen them, they don't exist! So I pull up Tower's site at their store (they actually tell you to give them the Tower numbers for parts... [:-]). Oh, sure, we can have those for you next Friday - how many do you want...? Needless to say, I passed on the boilable props... and picked up the magical glass filled MK beauties (I needed help from the cat to get them out of where they were...)

Rafa, thanks for pointing that out. Hard to believe there have been 100 replies already. No siesta tonight. Hold your sombrero, soon you'll find out why...

Jason, extremely kind of you to send me that hard to find header - much appreciated. Let me know how much to forward you via PP (I'll do it as soon as my PP account is sorted out - should be some time next week).

Pete, thanks for your PM. Don't mention it, I've got my hands full here. As mentioned, my PP account is going through verification (new thing to me). Should be able to transfer funds next week.

Ok. Thanks guys. Now on to foam and wood stories!

David.
