Re: Stay Frosty

As posted on Facebook today: If you ever get to where walking from the bed to the bathroom has you exhausted and out of breath, it's time to head to the hospital ER. I'm probably lucky to be alive.

Re: Airframes available for 424

I forgot a couple of Smasher options on completion level. A built and glassed wood bolt on V-tail is $75. Though not legal for 424 right now, a composite bolt on V-tail is $75. I charge $75 to complete a sheeted foam core wing to be ready for covering. If you want it glassed with .7 ounce cloth and ...
