I went to the LHS to look at the Great Planes Slot Machine, but by the time
I bought the center line market and the cutting guide for the ...

Well, after recovering from the big R/C Flea market in Perry GA, I
have some thoughts.  First, however, I sold 99% of the stuff I
brought(Now I can buy more of other stuff!)..but I was surprised at
