Thanks.

I find I get a better blond with wood glue that CA...Stronger and easier
sanding...the only thing CA has got going for it is speed, even though I
have to wait over night for drying with the wood glue.  Definately a
better plywood bond.  In put please, thanx, ken

I've bought a Sanwa VG400 Tx, but I can't get it to work.  First I tried
with Futaba xtals and Futaba Rx, no go.  Thinking I needed a Sanwa xtal I
bought a Sanwa xtal and GWS mini xtal for my GWS naro rx.  Still no go.  Put
xtal in Futaba, and it works fine with GWS rx.   So I ...

well, but the retracts suck. Are there retracts compatible with this

I am looking at gettin a ff6 remote do you know what the rage on them is, as
in distance

The SWAC, in Arlington TX, was a lot of fun today.
To Dr.Sandy Frank: you set up a really good show. Thanks.

I have many RC Airplanes for sale:
Single engine Trainers
Single Engine Warbirds
MultiEngune Warbirds
