We took a young lad out today to a popular local common area.
Sun shining, nice steady breeze. Kite up and away. We had a brilliant
time messing about with a couple of kites and time passed very quickly.

Gentlemen:
I had a great time at the field this evening and it wasn't just flying.
We have several instructors in our club and I hadn't flown with one of

I would like to get some opinions on a rather exotic battery test device,
the Power Cube. Take a look at it and let me know what you think. Take a

Good Evening.  I am wondering if someone out there has any ideas for a
model airplane cradle?  I am looking to either buy or build a cradle
that can hold two planes (separate wings and fuselages) in the back of
my open-bed pickup.  I need something that won't move around in the ...

I am looking for a Hallco Landing gear. I understand this was the
largest gear Hallco made with a wheel to wheel spacing of 17 and 1/2".
