You forgot to ask why am I on this echo:-)  Yep stamps is my hobby and pseudo 
business as well.  You can't take a chancd on putting stamps in a rural mail 
box so I have a po box in Ottawa. I am also into Photography, metal work, 
wood work, gardening, carpentry, computers, and now it seems landscaping.  I 
own a piece of a decent sized swamp that i play with as well. I have been 
building and dreaming models for as far back as I can picture.  I have 
several finished, some on the go and some still waiting to be done, typical 
with the exception that I have never flown an RC successfully,  I don't 
really try that hard and don't mind.  I am building a new shop and air field 
right now but that coule end up as a potting shed and garden as easy as not.  
I made the speed controls because I have a PTE and the thing doesn't seem to 
want to fly. Its got all the bits correct except thet the weight is supposed 
to be 48 oz nad the weight is 48 oz. That seemed a little close to me so I 
wanted to cut down on the weight. this switch removed a servo and toggle as 
well as a couple of inches of wire.  I also wanted to cut my own boards and 
looked at this as an opportunity to get that experience.  The boards were 
advertised for three bucks US, but I wanted to do my own.  I still have not 
tried that plane again but one day..
