Dave, welcome to the fold. Your heritage is fairly obvious by simply reading the first sentence. Those of us who were born in the US noticed the 'tuppence." and we are happy to have you along! This is a great hobby and we welcome you to the fold.
BTW, RES, Scale, slope, thermal, DLG, F3(whatever) and electrics are welcome here, as much as you are! Glad to have you aboard. George Voss 1403 Lincolnshire Rd OKC OK 73159 ps: my spell checker flagged tuppence. It's a good thing I've seen Mary Poppins huh? ;-) -----Original Message----- From: david alchin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 11:51 PM To: soaring Subject: [RCSE] Tools Hi Guys, I'm kinda new to this soaring exchange but I'll pop in my tuppence worth regarding favorite tool, as a builder of scale models [ and dare I say R.E.S.] currently building a scratch built Riva Super Ariston Mahogany Runabout boat to 1/4 scale next project a Sky Bench Baby Bowlus. The need for a plane came about now having seen the add for Great Planes "Power Planer" I purchased that item and was pleasantly surprised that it lives up to the manufactures claims, it will plane balsa/ply/hardwood whatever and the micro adjustment allows for real precise planing a great tool it only has one draw back for some one like myself who's hands are following father times the power switches are mounted on each side and require quite considerable pressure to keep running. I most certainly recommend it. David AKA The Brit david alchin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why Wait? Move to EarthLink. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
