Yup. That it is. I was connected to it via the Air-Alias BBS, but alas,
it went down while I was in the middle of moving. I hadn't been on the
BBS for awhile, then when I tried to call it again, the number was not
in service. I'm sure RC-Net still exists, but I just can't find access
to it anymore in Montreal. Ask Roger Marshall about it. I remember
seeing his name every so often on RC-Net. I think he knows the ZC too. I
The ZC was Mr David Leisure Jr. Anyway, check it out. And if you hear
about it or get info on it, please let me know. I'd appreciate it.
I may not be on this BBS in the very near future because I'm on it on a
trial basis and I have the option to join after my time is up, but I'm
having lots of trouble downloading my Qmail packets and the Sysop won't
help do I'm off to another BBS who's sysop actually cares about his
potential members and takes the time TO ANSWER HIS E-MAILS.
Anyway, you can reach me at my personal e-mail address if you get any
info on RC-Net. I'd Love to get on it again.

assistant: Hi all.

        Well, I don't know if this message is getting out there since
I've been having problems with my OffLine MailReader. I've replied to
some e-mails addressed to me but somehow some of them just didn't appear
when I tried to upload my mail packets. Anyway, I'm using an old
Amiga500 with some old programs, and maybe that's the trouble. Am I the
only one having trouble making all these darned programs work right???
It seems that whenever I think I've got it, something else messes up
somewhere in another program. etc...
-
Anyway, I'm developing a fiberglass electric glider, all ready built,
and I'm curious as to how many people would be interested in buying one.
If so, how much do you thing something like it would go for?
Thanks Gjp.

Hi Roger
70 - 75!!! must be nice :) The windchill here today was 25 below freezing :)
:) It was cold on all parts! :)
The Balsa USA Citabria is a nice flying airplane. You might want to beef
up the landing gear tho. A freind had one and had trouble keeping the gear
attached.
Life would be boring without hobbies :)

(AIR-ALIAS) went down. I just called one day and the number was not in

in Montreal. Since you're on it, can you please ask the ZC or whoever is
in charge, if there is a another BBS having access to RC-Net here in
Montreal that I can get onto. If not, can I just ask any BBS that I'm
on, to get it? How do I do this? I miss RC-Net.
        Can you help in any way?
Thanks.

assistant: Hello, Rob...
 Uppps  !!!  Spoke too soon - the last few days have been too cold to
 do anything outside (for me) - high temps have been in the 40s and
 lows in the 20s.  We're getting our Canadian weather right now.
 Understood - I have several Balsa USA birds and I have had to beef up the
 gear on all of them - guess I land a little hard at times - the best
 (and easiest) is the big Stingray - easy to build and great to fly.
 Are you building any new stuff to get ready for the warm weather ?

assistant: Hi Jason-
It is my understanding that any FIDO Net BBS SYSOP can simply ask the
feed they receive (called the "backbone") to include any of the 4-5000
conferences on FIDO Net.
To ensure success, I would do two things.  1) look at the opening
screens of whatever BBS you are receiving and look for a "Contributions"
or "$" or other like area.  Send a few bucks to defray costs ($25.00 US)
would be nice. 2) leave a message for the SYSOP thanking them for
providing this fine service and politely asking the SYSOP to add any
echoes you like.
My SYSOP cheerfully added each of the echoes I requested after
receiving a small token of my esteem, and I believe yours will also.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Terry

Hi again Roger
I was out on the weekend and had to block the front of the head off
because it was so cold that the glow plug wouldn't stay lit :)
I've never built a Balsa USA kit. I find that mail order is a bit
of a pain up here and usually end up just going to the local hobby store.
I do make the journey to the Toledo show whenever I can tho.
I've been too busy messing with the stupid computer to get to the
workshop. :) I'll have to get down there soon tho and finish all those
projects that seem to build up :)

assistant: Hello, Rob....
 Hmmmmm....I knew you Canadians were TOUGH - but going to that extreme
 just to bore holes through the sky is a little too much for me (gr).
 Last weekend was JUST RIGHT down here...about 58 deg F, very mild
 breeze, lots of sun - we had 12 of our local pilots out chasing the
 birds - only one crash (an ARF) but easily rebuildable.
 Balsa USA's kits are next to Great Planes in my favorite category - easy
 building, good instructions, blue prints not great but OK, good quality
 and real good price.  Over the years I've built the Phaeton 90, the
 Enforcer delta-wing, the Bristol, two Citabria Pro, the big Stingray,
 and a Fly-Baby bipe - all still going except the Bristol.  BTW, not all
 of these are mine - many were built for other pilots who either didn't
 have time or space.
 OK - understood...I've just finished an upgrading treatment on my system -
 larger hard-drive, tape backup, and Windows 95 - jury still out on the
 Win95 - haven't learned to move around very well at this point - have the
 system backed-up before Win95 so real easy to return to Win3.11 - if
 things don't come clear pretty soon...bingo...the change gets made !!!!
 As for projects, I thought I was busy BEFORE I retired - it's worse now.
 OK, back to the shop.....TTYL - Roger

assistant: And Good day to you from sunny southern Ontario, Canada. Way,way back when,
when the balsa wood shortage started to be felt by the hobby industry, RCM,
and others put out several articles on how to make cutters, guides,
templates, etc etc. This, if memory serves me, and it usually doesn't, was
back starting in the mid to late 70s. I'm sure there has to be something
published after that, but, unfortunely, I haven't kept up with what has been
published. I just had a quick look at the back page of last years RCM but
couldn't pick out anything on what you want. Why don't you give them a call
at their 1-88 number, or better yet, if you have access to the internet,
there is a group there dedicated to modeling. Ask them. This is the best I
can do for you unless you want to come up and dig through mine RCMs. I go
back to at least 70 and before. Hope you get a better answer than what I've
given you except to say, What about a library?? All the Best. TomT.
