Nice to see the Estes Explorer Aquarius turned out well and had a nice flight. BTW, when did you get so gray son?

Chas

I think the gray came when I opened my 50th birthday present. I think I'll be getting eyeglasses for my 51st.
As for the Dart, I have the new one ready for the paint booth. I also have the BT-55 upscale ready to do. Calling that one the Kingpin. Stole the name from an old Manfred Mann tune.

Got a package in the mail from Estes today with a new Ventris, a new body tube for the damaged tube in my Mega Red Max kit, a package of E9-4's and an F50-6T in place of the F50-2T that killed the Ventris. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish the new Ventris for NARAM, but I know I'll be beefing up the area where the shock cord attaches to the transition section. That gave way much too easy for my comfort. I liked the way the dead one looked, so I'll be trying to get as close to that as possible for Ventris v.2.
