I’ve still got my 72 MHz JR 8103 and a box of Speed 400 motors, but alas - I gave up R/C in favor of 1:1 scale. Got current again last year, now I just need to knock some rust off…

A lifetime ago I won the longest timed flight contest at an Ann Arbor electric R/C fly-in. I miss that little glider…

I love Marmalade! Such a happy, loved kitty. We have a ginger tux, too. I have a soft spot in my heart for orange kitties, Max is our second and they’re just the sweetest.

Looks amazing! I particularly like the blurred prop discs, would love more info on how you did that. I often see just a clean disc with a yellow circumference, this looks much better!

How about the 2016+ Airfix line? I have a Mk.III in the stash, hoping it’s not more trouble than it’s worth!

Corn for ethanol is “starchy” corn which is mostly used as animal feed. It is not at all the same as “sweet” corn, which humans consume. So in the short of it, you need to further process it to convert it to anything palatable to people… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Glad to hear it. How easy was it to sand when cured? Did you rough sand to shape before fully cured, then polish? I have a lens cover in my near future and I think I’d like to try this!
