    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    PrecisionCutKits.com...anyone?

    thanks for all of the feedback guys, it is very much appreciated. i emailed Larry a few days ago and haven't heard back yet but I also may have a different option that I'm waiting to hear back on, and another older RTF plane that is available if I can get to it. I was thinking about trying to...

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    thanks anyway Chris. the plane is even farther south than Chantilly but that's where the guy will be in a couple of weeks and he's offered to bring it with him if I can get there or arrange for someone nearby to grab it for me. i'll find someone, just have to ask around. Bart

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    the bright side to this is that I did some surfing this afternoon after I was done sulking and found two really good deals!!! Just have to find a way to get them back home! Anyone live near Chantilly, VA and wouldn't mind storing an airplane for me for a week or so? :) Bart

    PrecisionCutKits.com...anyone?

    Thanks Mike but they don't have what I'm looking for. If I have to change my plans I'll give them another look but right now I'm hoping to hear from PrecisionCutKits.com. He's about thirty minutes from my house so it would be nice if I could drive down there and meet up with him in person to...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
