I just found a little shop close to my home which sells rolls (and end cuts)
of larger rolls of cast vinyl film which is self adhesive (not heat
activated) on one side. It looks like interesting stuff for trim,numbers,
letters, etc. that might give an ARF a little different look, ...

A man needs a hobby.
I guess I'm not well-rounded. I seldom take a vacation (never, come to
think of it), and I don't spend a whole lot of time in church, though

I ordered a Chipmunk ARF on Tuesday and had it by Friday. They sock
you 20 bucks for shipping  (Fed Ex) but then they knock of 12 or 13
for some unknown reason (Hobby People ). Well, the Oracovering is
beautiful. The balsa construction is good but the instruction manual
