Hi Sleepy
The meter shows about $20 as far as I can see, there was a lot more than that in previous meters.

BoneDoc,

I use blue painters tape for everything from marking CG positions on the side of the fuse, to attaching some temporary weight, to keeping the cabane pins in place, to holding down the receiver antennas...

It's my proverbial duct tape

Well... still no word on JAS. Comp Arf has a new plane out designed by Bryan Hebert called the Valiant. Not sure if JAS has time to switch over and get comfortable with the plane. He is being very quiet on his intentions which is understandable since it is the Worlds.

Speculation runs wild right now amongst pattern flyers but many new designs are emerging with the Valiant (Comp Arf) and the lead on the Shark from OXAI .. also a Bryan Hebert Design.

Time will tell.... keep supporting em.

GO TEAM USA.

The Valiant:

http://www.carf-models.com/public_ca...linkId=@6@2098

I poached the photo below from another forum. Looks like JAS likes his new ride. Word is that he will likely not be flying it in Portugal, but anything is possible.

Price is supposed to be around $1,700 for white, $2,000 with colors.
