Hey, if you need a picture of an Extra 300S to work your color scheme
from, I think I have one lying around here somewhere.
Why not try the traditional blue fuselage and wings, and paint the
vertical stabilizer red, and the leading edge of the wings and
horizontal stabilizer red at well. I think that's the way it is, I
haven't looked at an extra 300S in a while. :-)
I used to build model airplanes (Actally, I only built one.), that is,
until my dog turned my 200+ hours of hard work into a pile of balsa
chips and tissue paper :-)
By the way, about what is the startup cost for a simple, small, airplane
with accessories? I'm thinking about getting into this thing again :-)

assistant: A J Boat is one of the older America's cup yachts, used before they
became too expensive and switched to 12 meters.  The Ranger was an
American J boat and the Shamrocks were several J boats owned by Sir
Thomas Lipton.  These are probably before your time as they are pre-WWII
boats.  I go back a long way. :)  Started model plane building when
rubber band power was very popular and gas engines were very scarce and
r/c was not hardly a dream.  I saw my first r/c planes during the war
when they were used as anti-aircraft gunnery targets.  Couldn't get over
the fact that they could fly a model with a wingspan of about 10 feet.
I was used to a maximum of about four.
Thanks for the advice.  I may be able to use it.

assistant: I guess you're living in the wrong area of Canada! To-day we hit +6C. The
only thing stopping me from flying right now is the wind but the weatherman
says it'll drop by Friday.Saturday so this week end should result in burning
off about a 1/2 gal. of fuel. It sure is nice to keep the old thumbs active.
Hope you get some winter flying in. What you are describing is what I went
through in Saskatoo, Sask. but we still did some road side flying; put the
engine under the tailpipe of the car to help warm it up and go fly. We
ussually had about 6 flyers in the clod temperatures but we all had a good
time. Actually the cold weather is ideal for test flying as it ussually is
very stable.
Hope you have a Happy New Year and the weather improves for you.

Well thanks but at -26 this morning I think it might take a while to warm up.
 Although i haven't taken a ship out for a few years now I always did wait
for my runway to freeze up before attempting to fly.  The past few years the
snow has hampered my attempts but I really haven't tried that hard to get out
there.  In the spring my runway becomes my boat pond.

There a group up by Ottawa that flies pylon but when I talk to them
the other Day they was kinda snowed in.
There a few Scale fellows in Montreal but they are depressed over the
white stuff too.
Down here in Indiana we got a taste of the White stuff, but by New Years Day
it
was sloppy wet stuff and mild 35 MPH winds.
Oh well, better Days ahead...

assistant: I am getting interested again in models that work, like radio control cars,
airplanes, helicopters, boats, rockets, etc.  I'm most interested in

Is there a list of most (or at least the best) of the companies that make
these, their addresses, email, and fax?  I'd like to use such a list to
request catalogues from the manufacturers of these models.  I appreciate any
help.
Also, are there any FTP sites (no WWW) or FREQable BBS's with devotion to
these things?
I now live on a fairly large open space with a pond, so boats and helicopters
would be nice (always wanted to learn how to fly one of those complex
beasts). :)  I might like a small, cheaper airplane with both servos (I had a
glider once, but thought it was boring with no altitude control), but the
place is not big enough for any fancy flying, and I can not go anywhere else.
