Doing?
Crashing and repairing RC airplanes. I'm getting very good at repairing the planes, In fact I was repairing some of these same planes over 10 years ago when the boys still lived at home.

"We might have everything done"

Silly Stan, When you own a home and particularly if you're married it's never "done".

Thanks Howie.
I was running my best mid-pack race ever until My old Parma Motor heated up so much the wires were coming unsoldered. I guess I'll need to install a fresh Proslot and build a cooling fan. Meanwhile my Nastruck just need decals and it's ready to go. My Olds and '56 Ford just need screen and decals then they are ready also. See you in a couple of weeks.

Chris, I posted photos and videos on HRWs facebook page and Slot racing old schools page, Also NW truescale's page.

This site won't let me post videos and only 1 photo at a time.

Stan,
they run like a typical Pioneer. Once I trued the tires they make decent laps. The Pioneer tires are rather hard, they would be quicker with PG tires on them as they are, they slide about like a dirt track car would, perhaps that was their intention. They come with three different pinions, 11, 12, & a 13 tooth gear. The Gulf car came with the 12 tooth installed, the black car was a kit. I used the 11 tooth pinion and I like it a bit better.
  They could be fun to race together but they only have the two cars, they need a Dodge or Plymouth from the same era.

Stan I'll have an extra car, but you'll need a controller that can handle the amps without melting in your hand.

Looks good Bill

I don't know what I need, I was going to pick my chassis up from Bob tonight or tomorrow, but that got scrapped.

Doc, Scaleauto also makes a nice selection of Gt-3 cars, smooth and quick. I have their early Mercedes and a C7 Corvette, they are as smooth and fast as anything else I own.  Ninco also made some with flat chassis we should have run with with the others. I have a Stock Toyota and a Lexus that will run circles around my Scaley cars.

I drove home from Bend today over the Santiam, First time in the Black Subaru, I can tell you that there are at least a couple of tight corners that are banked the wrong way.

From a working man's viewpoint I can only think, what a shame, what a shame, what a shame.
