Thank you for the compliment, it's appreciated!

While we're on the subject of homemade wings, here's something I whipped up for my stepson's RC10 utilizing the 'old' wing mounts. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CSOqKwLmvIA/Uuq209DGc9I/AAAAAAAAC-g/hjMgCA4xOuA/s1024/wing%2520E.JPG As you can see, it's sort of a 'Dirt Burners' clone. https://lh6....

Yeah, the tabs holding the wing wire are a dead giveaway.

When I first spotted this I thought it might have been manufactured by Thorp. Manufacturing, but after closer inspection, I'm thinking it's homemade. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vu0gAUqKNto/Uuln5pjK8xI/AAAAAAAAC9w/Hl-jYfcyxdA/s1024/Thorp_Sprint.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bd4T3_51n...

Hahaha........that's good, my wallet is so dried-out from being abused by my local daycare it could use a little relief!

Thought I would drop in and announce, that I've finally made the transformation from a full fledge 'lurker' to a 'new' member! Up until a month ago, I haven't owned or operated a RC in over twenty years.....so I hope you will all take it easy on me.
