| After a little regrouping, the wing rebuild commences. I had scanned all the laser cut parts before I began the build which turned out very helpful. As was my preference to use little individual building boards. All the shims are still intact. This will be the second time to rebuild wings on this model. Should go fast. Third times' the charm! ;D. |

| Left it on the floor to get something. Kids were running around the house. At least I got to watch it happen. Sounded pretty awsome ;o) . Anyway, the kit is designed for "Rapier" L2 power. That's a rocket motor. Not like the Estes 3 second burn, but somewhere around 10-15 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-TaYV6driE&feature=BF&list=ULpsUNR04T3Lg&index=22 It's pretty much illegal anywhere here in So Cal so I plan to fly it predominantly as a slope glider. There is a problem with getting these motors at the moment (from Czek...) but if I were to somehow get a hold of some. Hmmmm... you know, when I'm visiting my Dad's house in Solvang ( a Danish motif tourist town here in So Cal) I sometimes forget that I'm in California ;o). |

| SWEEET! Do you know how long I've been looking for some small folding Props?! Thanks Bill. As for Shorty's, that's where I got this kit from (it's got their name on it) and notice the "Out of stock" on all the "Rapier" motors. You got me all excited! They wouldn't ship to me anyways. I've got Shorty's "ME 262 Schwalbe", also Rapier, all cut and ready to assemble too. It's kinda tiny. Thanks again. Phil |

| ah... they are Out Of Stock aren't they? SHOOT! Well, let's get the UK outfit to ship em to me, and I'll ship em to you! |

| Now that would make my day! IF you can get 'em, E-mail me and we'll discuss compensation. Thanks. Before you place an order with Sam's, I'd like to add to it. Save some shipping! Thanks a whole bunch. Phil. |
