Default RE: Putting together Classic Pattern Plane list

How about having the Trenton site also post the "Classic Pattern-Trader"? It seems to me it would be a good fit...classic airplane stuff and a newsletter dedicated to learning about, sourcing and price discovery as well as the engine, set-up and trimming, construction, installation and finishing articles...the newsletter may have visitors return a few more times...seeing that "Ok to contribute sign"...

I like the idea and would be honored for the consideration. The first issue is waiting for the first collection of items to arrive to make it special. Categories may include:

"Classic Collector" rare, complete esoteric items, which may have MK, Bridi, Hanno stuff,
"Classic Consumer" toys to be enjoyed not saved...mostly kits
"Classic Values" consisting of below market price discoveries
"Classic Bling" engine mounts, spinners, Kraft wheels, retracts
"Classic Power" yep, engines, mufflers, headers and pipes
"Classic Prints" ...unauthorized copies of prints, full size on paper, not a value but convenient.
"The Holy Grail" A completely unauthorized copy of the "RCM Anthology Flight Training II"
"Classic Connections" Deep, very complete private colletions of NIB Rossi, YS engines and parts
"Classic Capitalism" yes, commercial enterprises offering extra special service for those classically minded

All the above for absolutely FREE! Based on the simple notion "If you help enough people get what they want, you can have anything that you want." Zig Ziglar

Now there's a great idea!
