While the 60 hour work weeks have kept me out of the workshop, I have managed to score a few important items to further the effort. The first is a variety of Rocket City linkages, available from Nelson Hobby. They swivel, which eliminates the binding associated with the swept hinge lines. The second item is a set of Spring-Air retracts. These units are a work of art. The workmanship is unbelievable- and American made! The last item is a freebie- but a true classic item. It is the Fox 2-1/4" Conical spinner specified on the plans. This spinner is the actual one from my original Vertigo II's from back in the day. I found them while rummaging through a box of old R/C stuff (treasures). It's a miracle that I still have it, and it is the one piece of this thing that will be original equipment.
