Hi all,
I posted a question in regards to fitting a spinner to a short shaft O.S 35s in the engines section a few years ago and got a reply recently that iterated to me what control line aeromodelling is all about.
Herb Hanna sent me a p.m asking if I'd like him to turn up a Veco style spinner nut in his spare time over the Christmas break.
Who was I to refuse? In the post last week, turns up, not 1 but 2 aluminium spinner nuts with matching washers. Expertly made!
We've never met personally but I'm humbled to say the least.
As a matter of fact a couple of my best mates locally are gents that I met close to 10 years ago (through stunt) that taught me to go from flying solo without crashing to putting a decent pattern together.
We share a lot of common interests and they alway bend over backwards to help in anyway they can.
It's a shame we don't see this more in everyday life.
Cheers Rob.

On the whole, modelers are just great people. I have received stuff from people I have never met on this and several other boards. When you stop and think about it, the info we get from others is priceless. That is why I am always ready to help someone with their needs if I am able. And control liners are the best.
