    Hi Jeremy.  In the last 12 days,  I had six flight reports and a lot of pics and text to edit,  and a lot of motors to build and test,  and a lot of repairs to do.  Plus I had to wait for all of the threadkiller slop to clear out,  from flooding the Recent Topics board.  But I am caught up now.  Plus I had a death in the family.

Jeremy,  are you building and flying anything?
