Thanks!

Its appreciated, hopefully, the Wattflyer readers will find bits of useful information in the PDF file.

FYI, also, thanks to those who have created the extremely useful wattflyer webpage. That had to be a LOT of work.

I don't mean to nit pick, because this is a great article, but when you said barrows, didn't you mean barrels?? I read this and I think it is a very well written article and is very informative. I hope you don't mind, but I passed this on to a couple of people I know that may get some good use out of it. I just gave them the link so they could read it.

Yep, you're right! Dang that spell checker anyhow, it will pass misused words. :o

(This article was based on a series of articles that were first published in the Racine Radio Control Club newsletter, "The Flightline". No one in the my club, or other clubs in the Milwaukee Area caught it!)

No problem with others reading it. I've gotten a lot of info myself from Wattflyer!
