Um... My generation is "famous" for getting dizzy on purpose... (if you get my drift...) Getting a bit silly in the middle of the circle is reason for merryment...

Well then. Spin baby! Spin!

Look what fell into my lap!

I got a mail outta the blue from the moderator at Hip Pocket, who suggested that I might want to contact another member who "lives in the Houston area..."

Seems this fine gentleman has a big box of balsa he'd like to find a good home for. So I PM this fellow, and turns out he lves about 10 miles north of me... (not 60 miles east... Houston area... sheeeesh...) So, I go see him last night and whoa!



What you're looking at is a SIG MFG balsa display box like what you find in your LHS... There's 30 compartments in the box. The pile on the table is the product of just the first row of stuff. The guy who gave it to me said that the balsa was "slightly heavier than contest balsa." That, as it turns out, is because alot of it ain't balsa but spruce! Oh no! don't give me free spruce!

There are five archery arrows to left side of the pile on the table. Carbon fiber wing struts mayhaps? Note the red tubes, all full, all sizes piano wire, (aka landing gear struts. and pushrods...)

So, I'll get this stuff organized and inventoried, and then start deciding what the first project will be! Triple sized versions of the Guillow's 500 series fighters for .09 U-Control, I think...

It's good to be me right now!

And... Thanx for letting me brag, guys!

Congratulations, Bill. Glad that you are the new owner of that 'stash'. We saw it offered on Hip Pocket a few days ago and were hoping that it would find a good home. Looking forward to seeing you put it to good use. Triple size 500 series as controliners sounds interesting.

You're welcome to come build em with me. With four hands we could build 6 at a time!

Hey if you fly me from Cincy I will help you!

[BillParker]

Ha Ha!

Alex, what would your parents say If I actually sent you an airplane ticket?

Hummmm... does Southwest fly there? We may have a free ticket laying around...

stand by one...

Nope you'd have to drive to the Dayton Airport... Looks close by Texas standards... *LOL*

[ADW 123]

Dayton isn't a bad drive at all!
Yeah... My parents would be very concerned. You can ship em to me for covering
