Write your reply.

assistant: Hi, Ian.  In response to delivering models:
 Usually, I build a custom-sized "crate" out of discarded cardboard
 I can pick up from a local furniture store, rigid styrofoam, and sometimes
 1"x1" wood stiffeners down the long sides of the crate - it takes about
 3-4 hours just to pack the birds so they will survive UPS.
 If the trip is over 400 miles (200 miles round-trip each way) I gently
 decline the contract - that is, unless I can develop some great need to
 make the delivery.
 Keep after the boat building - success finally arrives, although it
 may be very late and unrecognized.  TTYL - Roger

u do is get a whole bunch of light bulbs and sloder them to gether...then u
wrap the 12 ga wire aroung it (strip a little part of the wire so it will be
soldered to each light bulb) them atbthe ned of the wire put a connector of
your choice or hard wire it... so when it dicharges the lights will light up,
and then u will see the energy being used up, and gradually the lights will
o
down indicating how much energy is left in your pack!

time...
but I also was thinking of getting a Novak Digi pk plus. w/ cooling fan.  But
the only down fall to that is that if I get a DC i have to lug aroung a damn
power supply...
WELL?  Whats it gonna be?  I willlbe charging probably 6c 1400's(sanyo)
