 JS>         Good to hear you are keeping busy as usual.  Say, did you
 JS> ever think of building any of those ships for R/C Warship Combat?
 JS> I take it you've seen the adds in some of the magazines.
Hey good to hear from you again.  I'd like to say that I have progressed but 
Things are still the same.  I am trying to get some american cash without 
paying the exchange fees and then I'll get some boards cut:-)
Cows will be home real soon!
Yep I looked at those combat boats and like the idea but only the shooting 
part. I don't think that I could watch all that work and money blow bubbles 
without cause.  I like the combat bats idea but the boats are a different 
story. Water kills radios.  Maybe target shooting is more my bag.
 JS> up their CO2 bb/ball bearing guns. I went flying with Larry
 JS> Marshall yesterday, and had a great time.  Larry flew his Revolt,
 JS> and Timothy motorglider, and I flew my Lazy Bee. Looks like I'm
 JS> getting there, as Larry stood there with the Instructor's end of
 JS> the Buddy Box, and put on a rather bored expression, and
 JS> complained frequently about not having any fun.
Where did you do the flying.  I take it that Larry is still in Petewawa. 
Great to hear that your Bee is not only finished but in the air.  tower has 
one in its catalog. Is it the one you guys built?  One has floats.
 JS> let me do my best, which ended with a big bounce (thank God for
 JS> those puffy Trexler Air Wheels) which  bounced the electric motor
 JS> loose, along with a chunk of balsa motor mount.  I'm not
 JS> complaining. Any landing you can walk away from, and repair with
 JS> 10 minutes work and a dab of 5 minute epoxy, is a *good* one!
At least you got it up before landing. my dismal record still stands :-(
Six attempts and six majors and 0.00 seconds oof air time.
 JS>   The Lazy Bee is sure a neat little plane. It can *really*
 JS> slow down and fly gentle..only problem is that it can get pretty
 JS> carried away with the wind.
This was in an ad for the Lazy Bee, a bipe, and I was hooked. Said you could 
walk with it as it landed.  Larry and Rich Lockyer talked me out of it.  just 
as well I haven't finished any of the starts for the last two years.
 JS>  Larry says he generated an awful lot
 JS> of interest in everyone when he flew his at KRC.
So he got to fly there at last or have I skipped a year of life:-)
 JS>   He does some
 JS> wild loops, rolls, and `death spirals' with it, then, if there's
 JS> a wind, he can land the thing vertically! That really drives
 JS> people crazy.
I'm smiling.  He must of loved it.
So some news.  I have cut the road through the swamp again.  Of course i had 
to stick the tractor in again and this time broke the steering tie rod while 
digging it out. I have decided that I now have the room to put in a runway.  
I bought a small boat and paddle arround out there for a lark.
I gotta get over there sometime so don't chuck that circuit.  Hell we can 
have a beer when we're eighty.
I'm still trying to get this linex installed so that I can have multi window 
access to the net and other things.
later &
allabes
