Jim, Bill, and all,
Thanks for asking. I have had to take a sabbatical from building model planes. My new projects are in very secure locations and I don't have the schedule flexibility I enjoyed when I was doing unclassified work.
My "modeling activity" has been limited to working with Prince William County (Virginia) to secure a new flying site for the RC guys and I stick my head out the back door sometimes and fly my little RC T-Rex helicopter.
I have been upgrading my electric stuff (at least some of the stuff I learn is useful) and I may take another stab at electric CLPA when I get back.
I appreciate your concern and will try to keep my nose in the Stunt Hanger more often. Retirement seems so far away, but maybe I can escape early.
Ron
