 Hello, Mark...
 MC> ALL my planes except three have been tail draggers.  The F4, F18,
 MC> and Mystere 3000 are tricycle. 
 
 I only have one trike now, a Pica T-28B, although the tri-cycle geared
 once was all I used - I still turn one over on its nose occasionally due
 to the bumpy hay field we use - we've just built a new flying site but
 haven't been able to use it until the entrance road becomes more solid - 
 which could be some time unless the rain lets up - we have had more than
 usual this Winter - and now, today, we have snow on the ground and only
 28 deg - guess this is another "shop day".
 
 RM>  some time - right ???  What is your favorite bird ???  TTYL - Roger
 MC> The Ultra Sport 60 with an OS .61 ABC/pump with a MACs quiet pipe
 MC> and an APC 11x8 is my all time favorite.  Unlimited vertical and it
 
 The US 60 is definitely a good model - I have built two (for other pilots)
 and one of them is still flying after 4 years - I did repair, strip,
 and re-cover it last year for the owner after a foolish mistake on his
 part (a Del-type maneuver, but no points).
 MC> I also have a US1000, but since I have $250 in the paint job I
 MC> don't fly it nearly as much. 
 
 Must be a nice paint job - what's it look like ??  I use Super Coverite
 and polyurethane enamel on all the birds I build, but I've never charged
 that much - even for building, covering, and all the rest.  I have a
 US1000 NIB that I bought last year from someone exiting the hobby.  I did
 build one for another customer some time ago, used an OS 120 4-cycle, and
 it did fly nicely, but not as fast as I had expected.  How's yours ??
 My favorite flying aircraft is a Goldberg Extra 300 (ST 90) but I expect
 it will be replaced with a Super Sportster 120 (Saito 120) as soon as I
 can get it finished (gr).  TTYL - Roger
