Club, meeting... You guys are killin' me. There is now a grand total of ONE glider pilot in my area. And I'm him. Heck I have meetings all the time. With 100% attendance. Woohoo! But the fellowship leave much to be desired. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model

I was wondering about range also. But the radio looks fantastic. And reasonably priced too! And while there's little justification for an estabilished pilot with multiple transmitters to buy one; if anyone does please give us a FULL report Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities

You know I've heard of this Johnny Berlin guy a whole lot on this list. In fact I've seen only positive stuff ; frankly sounds like a great guy so... What is his web site? And what is his business called? Let's send enough business his way that he can stay in the business. Bill Swingle

It sounds to me like the nerf type stuff. Mark Mech knows about this stuff. I seem to rememeber him saying it's a poly ethelyne compound or something like that. Help us out here, Mark. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe

I seem to recall that he used some sort of cable band saw to cut it. I got the impression that this was a foam that you did not want to cut with a hot wire. Perhaps the fumes were the issue. Yep, I remember that too. It was said that the fumes were toxic. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA

Daryl is flying a plane with only 8.6ounce wing loading!! Gad, I can't believe it. Daryl likes LONG legged airplanes. Will the plane range as far as a Daryl plane is supposed to? Bill Swingle RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests

OK, Here's a probably dumb idea... Would it be possible to gently heat the outside of the wing skin? Such that the glue would get soft? Don't know but may work. Then the glue could be removed piece by piece. Other wise there's the dental floss sawing method. It's a pain but safe. Bill Swingle

Good idea. But prudence will still be required. Don't know how fragile the skin will be. The dremeling out the servo idea was also interesting. Bill Swingle RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please note
