Im striking out on finding it locally. Drug stores carry very small bottles at hefty prices! Looks like some health nutrition stores carry it also.
SOMEONE in the Raleigh area HAS to have some big bottls on the shelf!
Larry,
I have a gallon on hold at KC Hobby. I just have to arrange to have it picked up. It will cost $15.00 or more to ship it.

Cannot figure out why no one is at the field... But someone should eat a "mystery dough nut" for NOT CLOSING THE PIN BOARD after last use... Should be easy to figure out... it must be one of those few left flying 72MHz guys...

dang Mike, Ya lucky rascal!
Ive been thinking about how I could pop out to the field somehow this weekend. If nothing else, I could at least fly a T-28 or something!

Thanks for locking up the pin box.
To the guy who left it open, SHAME ON YOU!

Oh well,,,,,,,,, lemme get back out and check on the crews. I'll pop back in later.

What kind of lens do you have on there, or has the wind been blowing hard enough that everything is tilted ? Think I'm going to go be seasick....

I spent most of this wintery day in the shop working on my "soon-to-be-IMAC" plane (my Aerowroks Extra 260). I finally finished changing all the control arms and linakages from a 3D setup to a higher resolution sequence setup. Man, that's a bunch of work when you have multiple servos per surface! But at least it's all done now.

I also balanced and mounted the prop/spinner. As you can see from the photo, there's something on the front that I haven't used in years. Let's just say that, to do props for IMAC, I need to understand what they are using now. It will be the "baseline" prop that I compare mine to. Man, it's odd to bolt a "non-Vess" on there......and expensive.....

50, are you snowed in?

I thought you had a new all-terrain-4WD-airplane hauling-weather proof-chick magnet mobile that would keep you moving.

I do, but I'm concerned that someone will loose control and hit my house....
