That's $2,100. You get what you pay for (or less). Folks who own them REALLY like them. A comparable (if you could compare them) F3J/Masters Supra is ONLY $1,900.

[RCSE] Re: External DC power Question
I have a Triton charger and was looking for a power supply so I could run it indoors in the winter (yes, I'll be careful). Saw this power supply advertised at www.allelectronics.com. Output is 24vdc, 6.5 amp. I know the Triton expects to see something like a 12 volt car battery, so can I/ how would I go about using this power supply without frying the Triton? Catalog item potrans #FS-15024-1M if you wanna look at it on their web site. I have a stack of like five old computer power supplies on the bench, I had thought about getting one of them to work for this using the Internet directions but don't have the time/inclination to futz around. This one is $24 and that's about half what the local Radio Scrap store would charge for something similar. Any help? ** It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.

[RCSE] removing old covering..... Update
Turns out there's no shortcut to old fashioned elbow grease... I sanded the rudder and stab using various pieces of wood that I glued sandpaper to and a big flat sheet that I glued to my work bench. They look fantastic now in transparent white Ultracote. Now onto the wings They pose a bit of a problem because they have under-camber. But I plan on gluing sandpaper to a rather larger cardboard drum used to pour concreat footings... Then throwing my two cats and a mouse inside to power it.. Should work hu :-)) Hope to have her converted to Electric and flying for my dad by next weekend.. Oh ya... The plane is my dads 1965 Lou Proctor Antic... Only thing that might hold me up is all the dam rigging... Craig
