Hi All.

As a "lurking member" for some months now, I'll chime in here. I've been retired since 1999, been in r/c since 1964. Now that time is "no problem", the general economy is making the hobby more expense. With a very good accumulation of wood and plans and a couple of old RC City glass fuses, I'm ready to hopefully enjoy the SPA/pattern flying again.

Hopefully we won't see a large increase in fuel costs this year. The two local discount hobby stores here are working to keep fuel in stock and the prices under $15.00 for Cool Power 15%.
I'll pass on a complement to all on this great forum......please, keep up the great work and priceless information that is offered here, it's a pleasure to read ALL the posts here.

REGARDS. DAVE
