Is there a US distributor that carries the Multiplex Multilock wing
locking system? My web searching has only come up with overseas sources.
Thanks in advance,

Kelly Neill wanted to let you all know that Tom passed away Sunday

up until Sunday morning so after almost two years of cancer, the end
came quickly.

I got a digest email tonite, all 116K of it, with about that many October
notes included, in a hard to read black font on a dark blue background, but
fortunately only had to hit the delete key once vs. 80 times, which is the
joy of the digest version come to think of it

I recently acquired one of the neatest books I've ever read: Do You Speak
Model Airplane? by Dave Thornburg. A wonderfully written history of model
aviation in the USA from day one into the 90's. If this out of print gem
ever comes your way, grab it.
I have a Mark's Models Bird of Time kit that can be had for $75 plus
shipping. The kit box has apparently been through a serious rain storm, as
the label is nearly washed out. But the contents are intact and in good
shape. Small parts and hardware are still in plastic bags. Included is a

You got me curious, so I checked the plans on the one I've got up for sale,
and no mention of lightening holes either. There's a small notation of
10/78 on the plan, presuming that might be a date.
I bet a power pod would be good on one of these. I'm just back from a

I thought I was a slow builder, but if it really took Loren Blinde 200 hours
to build his Genie (the 10' span LT/S version, yet) he takes the prize for
dawdling. (Just kidding
Thanks for your post ! I'm one of those vanishing weirdos who enjoy (and
make the time for) building every bit as much as flying. And you've hit an
issue right on the head. Today's builders are equipment installers,
the market has responded in kind, and you're left to cope. I know, I know
Let's say that tomorrow, due to circumstances beyond your control, you

Does anyone have opinions or experience to share about Esprit Models and/or

A friend (not on the list) is interested in the plane.

Can't say I've ever owned the plane... but about 25 years ago, a newbie
showed up with one at our field. He soon broke it on landing. So, being
the resident expert with all of two years experience, I offered to fix it
for him. Out comes the bottle of Hot Stuff, liberally applied. 10
I have a good friend, not on RCSE, who ordered a Chrysalis 2M MKII back in
December. All he has gotten so far are assurances to be
patient. Considering the web site has a banner proclaiming Chrysalis
Electric and MKII Available!, 4 months seems like a stretch for a 2 meter
built up kit.

I was wondering sort of the same thing about comparing the two servos.
But my question is: Why, when I plug in both brands, with no load, do the
Hitec servos make this funny sound like distant morse code in a WW2
submarine movie, while the JR's are dead silent?
And presuming that there's some
A long, long time ago (1979), I flew with some guys from the Rocky Mountain
Soaring Association in Denver. One of their members had a large fancy
tackle box, apparently suitable for a bass-boat episode of American
Sportsman. Someone challenged me to ask him what's in his flight box. So

I have my second Genie LT/S close to completion. In 30 years of flying,
it's the only plane I've ever built that I wanted to build again.
Now I know how Harley can build 27 (or whatever he's up to now)
Genies. After the first one, the next 26 are a breeze :-)

Some time back, Cal Posthuma offered a kit for LED's on a two solenoid
winch. The idea being to indicate if one of the solenoids was stuck. I
ordered and received the materials and instructions in good time.
It was easy to assemble and worked flawlessly. Now here's the testimonial
part.
I know the feeling.
I even started cutting templates for my LT/S wing last year. A four panel
wing takes 5 templates x 2 (for upper/lower). I got bored after template
#5, and frustrated that I couldn't find blue foam locally, so I ordered the
cores from Les Horvath..
