Thanks Bob. I'm oldfashioned in that i actually handwrite letters & send them in the mail. I also write cheques, do calligraphy, & surprise people with gifts in their mailbox.
My ex-wife lives in farm country & actually mails me fresh produce which is very inexpensive at the farm stands.

Our postal system is 99% shutdown by labour strife, so nobody is getting anything...unless you are entitled to a social assistance cheque...the Union has agreed to continue delivering those.

My opinion? I dont care for the distraction of music in ANY hobby-related video.
Also, dont phone me if you keep the tv or radio on in the background...even tho i am a very skilled Amateur Radio Operator who can separate signals from each other & from noise, its difficult to separate the two streams of audio info coming into my ears.
No, i dont hav a hearing problem (was just tested, there is nothing wrong with my hearing).

As of a few recent Spencers events someone said clockwise pattern. Near the end of the event last weekend a few gents wanted to run faster-electrics so everybody pulled their warships out.

In the early 1960s i went thru a succession of BabeBee .o49. Cox also made a .020 with integral tank/firewall-mount. The Cox .010 was beam-mount,required a separate fuel tank. The Cox GoldenBee 049 had a slightly larger integral tank than the BabeBee so wud run abt 5min compared with the BabeBee running 3min. Several of the Cox ready-to-fly plastic controlline planes had 049 engines with dual ports machined into the cylinder walls, they produced more power than the BabeBee but were not sold as separate powerplants under a different model name.
Then i discovered "women" & control-line flying took a backseat.......

Cashrc, when you say you "silver solder" it , are you referring to the silver soldering that welders sometimes do, or do you mean soldering with, say, a 40 to 60 Watt iron using electronic solder containing 3% silver??

Most of the silicone sealers smell like vinegar whilst curing. Those fumes are deadly to electronics. There is one version intended for electronics, sorry but i cant recall the name tho. Next time i am in at my supplier i will look it up & edit this post.
I used it for 20yr when i was a calibration tech repairing NASA-quality RF front ends incl 2.4 GHz, & hi-end digital multimeters.

Garth, at least at SPENCERS its unlikely to become a total loss in 5" of water. A very safe venue in that respect.

Amazing what you can find in your sock drawer when push comes to shove. Currently I have three sock drawers so there is probably some good nautical bits at the bottom of each of them🤔

In the late 1800s my great-great-uncle pulled his sixshooter & killed his parrot...who had just pooped in his hat. Uncle Jim had a very short fuse when he had been drinking out there in the Wild West
