Thanks for all the emails, I broke the website trying to update it. It now appears to be up and running reasonably well at http://home.earthlink.net/~philcartier.
Got lots of new stuff, in addition to a large selection of the best foam wings you can by at very reasonable prices.

Thanks Phil

Not completely sure it is the web site but I cannot get to the prices. Also a question about the Giles, does a bladder tank allow a 2-4 break?

Most of the price list links work. I'll try and fix the others today. The easiest one to find is at the bottom of the catalog page.
The LA 40 I originally used would do a 4-2 break running on the bladder. It was pretty touchy though. As pointed out, a bladder fuel system is not predictable enough for running the big props needed in stunt. Paul Walker got it to work pretty reliably with a pressure regulator in his B-17. If you do that it's no longer cheap and simple. You can reliably run almost any engine at a rich 2 cycle on the proper propellor. The motor has to be running well up in rpm though. I expect with the right timings on the shaft and sleeve you could get the same results at 10-11,000 rpm, but not with any motors I'm familiar with.

Thanks Phil... I am rather fond of the wet two cycle approach... it has served me well with engines ranging from 1/2a thru K&B 40s... So I am thinking I will be heading that direction if I get around to using a bladder on a model for stunt. I really like the bubble free fuel feed of a bladder.
Thanks

BTW even though I cut my own wings I have been very very happy with the wings from you. You do great work.
