WoW!!! True!
« on: March 01, 2008, 03:55:19 PM »
The WRAM show was last weekend....I got there Sunday around noon...
Not much c/l stuff, although Fox was there as well as a bunch of the usual vendors.
I scored some screws and glue...and some really sharp #11 blades.

Something that I bet most will find very, very hard to believe was that Bob Hunt BOUGHT A PLANE! Complete! Ready to use....

I spoke with WRAM management and they may consider allowing c/l vendors next year.

Dave Mathewson was there, too...

but Hunt BOUGHT a complete plane! WoW!

Looks exactly like a 100% finished, ready-to-make-the-chips-fly model to me. LL~

I wonder what weight of balsa it prefers to run on, and if it will turn a sharp corner?
