RE: Boat SPADS please delete no response sorry
ORIGINAL: Clean
Busy season at work AND prepping kids room for carpet that came tuesday AND getting ready to hose 30+family members for thanksgiving AND my Renesance Man son slipped in a speeding ticket, carless driving, POSSESION one weekend and a rolled car the next, didn't know about the Possesion part until a week before the first trial. He's going to school in Rolla and although all the garbage hit the fan Labor day weekend and the weekend after that, all the court, drug awarness classes and such took effect in the last month AND that means either 8 hours minimum in a car the day of or 4 hours and overnight and 2 hours and 4 back. First ticket was on the way home an hour from Rolla.
So, I've been busy. Go pick him up Sunday and he gets to work off some debt. I have planes sitting here for completion. A SPA3D and Talon from Plastic Concepts, Gotta put them together after this weekend and get out to fly before Christmas, I hope.
Well, down to pick another box up and store it in the sons room. Oh, and I"ve been to the gym at least 4 toimes a week. The week after dad died I stepped on the scales at work and peaked it at 312 pounds. Deduct the 7 pounds of cloathes I run around in and well, anyways I was 257 at the gym today after a 4 mile run on the treadmill. Workin on that too.

Coop,
That clear Lexan looks cool on a boat! Great job!
You need to make a hatch so you can put your hamster inside to take a ride! [X(]
JUST KIDDING!!! DO NOT put your hamster in the boat and take it for a ride! That's what gerbils were made for...
Looking forward to the "float" report!

Glass bottom boat rides should be tomorrow if all goes well - going to test on grass then try the float test
Foodstick - you going to bring out plane next time you come out to the field.
No gerbil or hamster rides at this time - still working on the balance point if they run back and forth inside it will mess with my balance point
will give out report tomorrow -
thanks for all the help

MrGreenSpeed,
Interesting fuse you have there! What will you use for the motor mount, and will it be a low, mid, or high wing?
Coop,
How did the maiden go?

Yeah Coop, I almost crashed my airplane watching Spad barge go down the runway. Just kidding. It was really fun to watch. Be sure to take a look at my models, I have them all up on the site.

Sorry Don I had to run her down the runway
Your model section is awesome - altought there are some planes that I have not seen at the field yet - hope to see them some afternoon at the field.
Are the pictures taken at the field ??
When do I get to see the complete shop with all of them in a row
Hope this weather turns around but does not look good
