quality (or lack thereof) is similar to Vmar. Any comments would be
appreciated.

I've got a DeBolt Model Engineering Company (DMECO) 34" span Livewire
Kitten.  A design from the early '50s, originally it was single channel for

I've got a NexStar that has served me very well for over a year.  Now I
would like to take the dihedral out of the wings.  Without going into
my reasons for doing so, I am seeking information from anyone who has
already made this change and could offer some advice.

We're new dog owners, having owned dogs (rather than lived with parents
who owned dogs) for just over a year.

I just inherited this ARF.I really haven't looked the contents over

Thanks

I'm looking at using LiPo batteries for an upcoming project, but have been
concerned about the safety issues and so am looking at the Saphion technology.
Everything that I have read seems to indicate that the safety of Saphion
batteries is comparable to NiMH batteries. Does anybody ...

    I am back.
    I have been negligent with my modeling ("Father, forgive me
for I have sinned...") but, you see, we had this storm down here in
Picayune, MS,  and the model shop got hit by a carport and it almost

Does anybody have a recommendation for 2 pilots for a Flair Taube,
preferably ready painted.
I have searched the usual shops but they seem to sell what I want but don't
have any pictures of what they are selling.

Some time ago a parked my Comet Gull in the top of a 150' tree.  We had
a wind storm that night so it's reparable, but it needs some work to be
flyable again, and my "paint booth" for doping tissue is the back porch
of my shop which is a bit cold this time of year.
