Our hobby is about more than we realize. I left the house this morning at 4:30am for Triple Tree to pick up a plane for rebuild. The six hour drive was mind numbing, to say the least. When I got there though, all five of my senses were revived and I was assaulted by more than what they could handle. I felt the vibration of a powerful jet as it tore through the air I smelled the Turbine Juice from across the field I saw a small electric model that was cabable of 185 mph I heard it go across the field.....It said: WHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! And when it went the other way, It said: WOOOOOOOOoooooooooooowwwwwwww! Although I did not taste any of the models, I did share my sandwich with a Black Lab. What a day!

Tank: Yes they are. I think you were the last guy to wrench on this plane. Every time you see a pic of it, the hood is up. It even made the July issue of MA! It has been electrified, gasified, and I even think it was run off of sterno at one time.
