I have all ,y indoor stuff stashed away and hope to get back to it. being stuck on night shift for 20 years really crimped my model airplane activities of all kinds. I belonged to the Kirkwood Thermaleers for many years and had to drop out. Most of the guys I remember have passed on. Indoor is a lot of fun and once you get a few tools of the trade, not to expensive in the long run. I have a ray Harlan rubber stripper that cost me 80 or 90 bucks back in the early 80's. I saw one listed on eBay a year or so ago and the seller wanted 250 bucks for it I think, and eventually got it. my Ray Harlan unit was pretty good but not as nice as what Carl Fries and some of the others had. They had a unit that a guy in Czechoslovakia made and smuggled out to sell. In my first few indoor sessions I noticed everyone that had a stripper kept it in a travel soap container. i thought that was a pretty neat idea and made a comment to Carl about it and he told me how that started. It seems that the guy in Czechoslovakia that made them used those to smuggle them out of the country passed their boarder guards. Then he sold them at the European events that he went to. If he had been caught, it would have been curtains for him! All you need to fly indoor is a rubber stripper, some good balsa strippers, some good winders and a winding base or torque meter if you want to use one. parlor mites are fun to build and gain experience with If you can get a parlor mite to do a minute in a typical living room, you have really achieved something and can progress from there to penny planes and ez-bees. Peanut and indoor scale are fun also. get good at those and you will find that you stunt model building will improve also!
Type at you later,
