RE: Anyone Else Having Trouble With Super Monokote?
[quote]ORIGINAL: rs670 Tower Hobbies is replacing my Monokote with 3 rolls of 21st Century film. (no cost). Haven't got it yet but if it's anywhere near as good as the 21st Century fabric, I know I'll be satisfied. I had the fabric on a J-3 Cub and loved the way it went around compound curves etc. If fabric is the look you want, I don't think it can be beat. [/quote] Very anxious to hear how you like the 21st Century Film. Please tell us how it goes on compared to Monokote. Thanks

Nice job! Where do you get the materials to convert to plug in wings/stab? I've never done it and need to learn. I'm also interested in how this turns out as electric. Looking forward to hearing about your planned setup and results. Thanks and Keep Building!

RE: Clarence Lee Estate? This is False!
Very good. When I confronted him last night, he said to let him know what I would find out in the morning. When I did, I gave him their number and this morning he said he'd call the Lee's to straighten it out. I'm actually beginning to believe he didn't have a clue what he was saying. It's alarming that he didn't do his homework in advance of making such a claim.

RE: Clarence Lee Estate? This is False!
Sorry, I'm not convinced if the seller on that auction site is the only one who seems to have any knowledge of this. When I asked him to confirm, this was his response: "yes i did he passed away last year i was told from his wife i bought his estate last weekend in new york." If this were true, I can't imagine there not being anything published within the model community news sources. I'll call C.F.Lee Mfg. Co tomorrow to confirm. (818) 352-3786 818-352-3766 -w8ye

Like many, I enjoyed reading his Engine Clinic articles for many years in RCM it was always the first thing I turned to.

Includes his picture and he's talking about issues with .46AX, parts sources, etc. And the classifieds contains the ad for Lee Custom Engines offering "hand-fit and assembled by designer Clarence Lee..." How could these things still be in print if Mr. Lee passed away? Guess I'm in a bit of denial.

RE: Remembering Carl Goldberg Models
Like many of you, I learned both controline and R/C with a Goldberg kit. My dad started me in C/L by building me a Shoestring stunter (McCoy.29) before I was big / strong enough to hold the lines on that thing. Wasn't even in first grade, but grew into it and flew it well into high school. When I decided to start R/C in 1980, it was with Falcon 56 Mk2. What a great airplane! Built another 5yrs later and have it to dad, I now have it and will repair it for two reasons- great memories and great flyer.

I've been watching for this ARF for a while, no wonder there have been no reviews! Thanks for sharing yours as soon as you could. What Rimfire motor did you choose? (can't quite see it on the label). Looking at the manual, they list a sport setup and 3D motor battery option. Being at 5200" elev, I was thinking the 3D setup might be better here. Looking forward to hearing your flight report!

Roguedog, Thanks for the software tips, those are skills I don't have for sure. Worse yet, don't have the sofware either. Will Photoshop Elements do these things? The Epson scanner I've ordered comes with Elements and I was hoping that would be enough. Microsoft Picture editor is nearly worthless for editing. After converting the pdf's to jpg's, they're still way too big to post and Microsoft Picture Editor just croaks when I ask it to open the large jpg's.
