120mm x 120mm .
Thanks,

Okay - I'm getting some ali extrusion profile delivered in a few weeks that
is a 'U' shape and measures about 37mm x 200mm and I just wanted to check
how to cut it. I was going to find a horizontal bandsaw to cut this. I need
as accurate cut as possible under a very low budget - is ...

Can somebody post a list of the short abbreviations as used by news
groups,or tell me where to go to get them (not where I should go!)

1. For the fore and aft dive planes on a submarine, do they work like
elevators (as in airplanes) or do they work like ailerons?

the sub can be trimmed to "reverse" bank so as to remain vertical

Question:

Hi Troops:
    I saw a list of future releases that stated there is a P-40E from
Revell/Monogram on the way. Anybody know what molds these might be? That

looking for some where to unload their
millions of what ever it is they have to
