 RL> You old fart ~8-)
Yep, thats true and getting truer daily.
 RL> I've never had good luck with CA on that type... they're almost a

Like you said, thick is best. I make the slot tight and hopefully get a joint 
of glue from wood to wood through the hinge holes.  I figure the pins will 
take less vibrator abuse than the glue.
 RL> You've STILL never flown?  You're worse than me!
Yep my ships last a long time:-)
 RL>  At least I used
 RL> to get in one flight a week per bird.  The slopers were a
 RL> different story completely... if there was lift, you couldn't
 RL> keep me out of the air and I'd do my best to buy radios with
 RL> frequencies that nobody else had to make sure I had the hill to
 RL> myself all day.
I haven't really got the flight enthusiam that get most hobbiests going. I've 
always been most content building things.  My interests are really diverse 
but usually end up building something.  Even my first computer was a scratch 
job:-)  I took up photography and never really learned how to take a picture 
but spent hours upon hours in the lab working on other peoples negs.  
Actually this will probably be the next big thing in my life. I will merge my 
computer, photography and philatelic hobbies into one.  I am considering an 
investment of a few bucks into an electronic photo lab.  I will create pages 
for my stamps using the computer to touchup and enhance photo images that I 
have accum ulated or snatched form wherever.  I also have a collection of 
plastic pickup truck models, some built, but most NIB.
Guess when you stand back and take a peek I am a nut case.  I think mom knew 
it when she named me.  Ian, I am nuts:-)
 RL> I haven't looked into the RC groups on the net... just guitar and
 RL> tube amp related stuff.  If you can receive netmail, I'll send
 RL> you his address (provided I can still find it).
I have his address, or did.    You are probably the one who years ago 
convinced me that my pioneeer amp was worth some bucks. I put an advert in 
the locals for a month or two and never got a nibble so I threw it out. Best 
amp I ever owned. lasted thrity years of constant use. I blew one of the 
diodes when I loaded or unloaded it withe six sets of speakers. It was a 
stupid misscalculation on my part. I paid dearly to replace the part and then 
replaced all the tubes and cleaned it up but it never had the quality sound 
that it had before.  I have blown up three amps since all because of either 
my wife or kids switching on more than two sets of speakers at a time. The 
whole house is wired in coax and there is a patch panal and switch panal in 
the basement for the TV, computer, and audio systems to get from here to 
there with out major rework.  It works well till some inept cretin takes a 
wrong move.
