Hello, Paul....good to hear from you again...
 
 RM>  your postings earlier - are you a new net-user ???  Write often,
 RM> tell us
 RM>  about yourself, what you're flying, and what are your interests.
 RM>  Hope

 PE> Nope; not new to Fido, just to this particular echo.  Not flying

 The "mahogany bomber" may bring you more security but I'll bet not as 
 much fun as just boring holes in the sky with a well-tuned miniature
 aircraft.  Like you, my work career put me out of action for a number of
 years - then I smartened up, left the desk to a younger person, retired,
 and started having fun again.
 PE> "before the mortgage").  I go back to the days when Goldberg was the

 Happy to see there are other "old f__ts" like me out there (gr) - I'll
 bet you remember Berkeley Models also, I built several of those and also
 tried to "fly" them, with a single channel Min-X receiver and home-built
 Tx on 27 mhz - not too much success in those days.  I still have an old
 Kraft tube-type Tx and probably also a two-tube Rx somewhere stashed away
 in the shop.
 PE> radios... I hung out on another RC-Model echo for a while a couple of
 PE> years back, but the board that carried it has since gone down and
 PE> nobody knows what the tag name was to pick it up.  (any suggestions?) 
 PE> As for that "SCREAMING 60", they call you "hook" now?    :-)
 The "screaming 60" didn't cut the finger OFF, just left a nasty scar - 
 that was long ago - I've smartened up a lot since then.  Get back into
 the hobby and keep writing - we'd like to hear some of your stories.
 BTW - where are you writing from ???   TTYL - Roger
