| Scored at the AMA Expo today (not that I need any more). The Herr laser cut G-Bee and Corsair and the Comet Ryan SC and DH-4 (Jimmy's purchase) cost $60 for the "Bundle". But I was most excited to find the "Lancaster". We walked away with the other four to put them in the car, but alas, I could not resist the pull and went back and picked up the Bomber. |

| Found these two in the "Archives". My Peck Gypsy Moth in it's glory days and a Waco. Took these photos with my Dad's then "Brand New" Polaroid SX70 Alpha instant camera in 1974. |

| Swapped out the motor again to ParkZone gear. Note the different gear ratio (about 4/1). The motor is a much "Hotter" wind than the previous. I had to revert to a lower pitch prop because the "P Factor" (torque) of the 100x80mm would roll the aircraft over with a rapid advance of the throttle! Yikes! http://www.youtube.com/user/pfinnfp?feature=mhee . |

| Changed the powerplant from the 7mm 1.7 ohm direct drive to a 6mm 4.5ohm 5.25:1 ratio gearbox. The prop in the picture is a 100x60 mm. It barely kept the aircraft in the air. I switched to a 100x 70 or 80? (doesn't say) for the video. Better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-Bv9zRJctY |

| Jimmy and I are putting together these "Gamers'" little kits for a friend. Jimmy bartered our labor for these and another "Axis" set. We sprayed a base green, airbrushed some darker fade. We are in the process of using the "Wash" technique to antique them. I do believe our friend got the better side of the deal, but we're having a lot of fun. |
