BG> That moron...who needs him! Oh...do you mean THIS Brent?
Yeper thats the one:-)
BG> I still scan the messages on both RC echoes everyday but I don't
BG> have a lot new to say so you don't hear much from me. My primary
BG> modeling activities involve projects which have been described
BG> here in the past.
You should burp every month or so. I realized that the last three models
that I have spent time on have been boats. And the whole time mentally
building a blimp, I'm amazed.
BG> I remain very active in the ship and sub end of the hobby. Our
BG> informal club gets together for a sail at least once a week and
BG> twice weekly if the weather allows. As you know, the DALLAS is
BG> complete and has sailed several times so there isn't much more to
BG> say about it. My big (60") minesweeper HMCS WINNIPEG is my most
BG> active vessel (because it is easier to transport than the 90"
BG> DALLAS). Recent modeling has involved the adding of scale details
BG> to the ship: a forward gun turret a couple of weeks ago and the
BG> addition of a tripod mast just yesterday. But the RC guts have
BG> long since been completed so, again, not much to report. Actually
BG> the WINNIPEG is currently sitting on my living room coffee table.
Heck 60 inches is peanuts when you consider that a plane gets that size in
both directions:-)
BG> I'm afraid I've let my RC flying slide. Logistics problems (place
BG> to fly) coupled with a heavy schedule of RC boating. However, I
BG> still have that 1/3 cub on the go and have promised several
BG> people that I intend to resume work on it shortly (framing is 85%
BG> complete).
Hey take your time eh!
Good to know that your lurking.
