RE: Proctor kits... worth the $$?

I'm retired on a fixed income and spending the money on a Proctor kit leaves me absolutely no buyer's remorse. After building these since they were first introduced by Lou Proctor, I believe that...

RE: Fokker D VII radiator types and exhaust?

Proctor Enterprises has a very believeable radiator material supplied with their 25% DVII kit...I'd give them a call and check it out. I honestly don't think you'll find anything close to what you're...

RE: Your thoughts after reading JR 12X manual

Here's my thoughts on the 12X, which I own - and can compare to the Aurora 9 and an EVO 12 also. I find the 12X manual to be poorly written with photos of screen shots that are so faint as to be...

RE: Sunglasses

I've been using and am more than pleased with a pair of Serengetti shades I purchased at Costco a year ago. They're an amber tint and have the auto-darkening feature included. I don't recall the...

RE: 1/2 Scale Albatros DVa

Nice work. But seriously, as has been mentioned previously, It is amazingly similar to the Proctor kit down to some stamped part numbers. I guess that this may be a 1:1 scale model of the Proctor 25%...

RE: Gilman Springs RC Flyers Dawn Patrol Fly-In

The Scale Masters has a builder of the model rule that extends to the "team" entry in which one of the team must be the builder. My question now is this - who built "this" Fokker DVII? Strong talk...

I was surprised to see that add on Hobby King this morning showing the 7 and 9 cylinder Siedels at *very* affordable prices. It's noteworthy that besides being all polished up now they also have a...
