It's been far too long, Almost a year, I began to worry, began to show fear.
That my interest had faded, and the RC end drawing near
But the tubes are warming, the coils be humming and the machinery a running.
Cast off the covers, dust off the gear
My Coxs' soon will be buzzing, inside all your ears
I'm back.

So,
I went down to the hobby shop to buy some hinge tape (just until I'm happy with all the moving parts) and man o man, does this stuff feel like medical tape. If I woulda known that they were similar, I would have kept the old role I got after slicing my finger open last year XP What?

Man, that's a lot of sticks. I'm planning to build my first stick and tissue plane soon. So far I'm still in the Talking about it stage.

I say go for it. The only problem I'm having at the moment is the control rods and hinges. Think I got it all figured out though. Guillows makes some awesome kits. Just a word of the wise, if your going for a non laser cut kit, prepare for alot of custom work (especially on their older kits). Its so damn worth it though.

Ok, so, this has been going on for long enough! But alas, all the work is done, All I need now is a warmish day to take it into the garage and skin the beast.

Going to the local hobby shop to pick up a nice can of Sig fuel proof dope, as the little jar I have is almost empty.

Thanks to all for the input and help.
