hey all,
Strait to the point, i'm looking for some good second planes that can be
flown with Sub-c cells and a speed 600 engine.
for some reason most of that planes are sailplaines.

Had a great night at the field this evening.  It was a beautiful NH

radical moves, the battery parted company with the Pete N'Poke.  The

   I'm at the end of finishing a Goldberg Anniversary Editon Piper Cub. I'm

the small screw on the from of the carb?
