The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

BEAUTIFUL Spring weather here this weekend and today, tho blustery. I sawed down a plum tree yesterday, cut it up into firewood sizes and today (mostly) cut down a Lilac for the neighbor widow. Got most of it cut up, but need to pull the stump, and need some more chain or lifting straps to do that. S'posed to rain tomorrow, if you believe the weather guessers. NW Skyraiders meeting tomorrow night. Gotta save up some strength for that.  y1 Steve

Well I will follow Steve's lead.  Went to a weekend Civil Air Patrol Conference for the Louisiana Wing.  Came home Sunday night still reeling from the damn time change (the older i get the harder it is for me to adjust).  Today I put the Imitation on the paint stand outside and did the final sanding before I spray on the primer.  Called Eric Rule to finalize some things on the full fuselage Imitation that will hit the market soon.  Returned a bunch of phone calls and still trying to recover from the weekend trip.  OK...is that boring enough.. LOL

Yes this time change gets to me also.  Will watch the facebook link for how the combat meet went.  Also the guys/gals on their way to Tuscon town for VSC.  Those that haven't been need to go soon as how many years will they keep it going.   Hope the new format worked as 3 days for Classic seemed to be to much for me any way.  Will watch for reports.
