Had some rolls of hideous transparent blue and purple for a pilot glider kit

Planes gonna be ugly yet still be a flier! Pat

I know that not every time is an experience with a distributor or
manufacturer a pleasant occasion. Also, I realize that when it isn't a good

am currently using a Triton Jr. DC charger run off a 7 amp
gel cell.  However, I have to re-charge the gel cell between
