You do indeed have to tip your hat to the many volunteers ,from the sod farm parking lot to the main venue itself......great job folks !!!!!!! Paul T

Great pictures guys !!! My brother is downloading pics and hi-def video for me ,pretty stoked to see that again. I was caught off guard when the F-18 came from behind and over us Me and the gang were not ready for that one ! Paul T

I just flew back home last night ,great trip. I was at the show on Saturday ,perfect day to watch planes ,could not have been better.I found the show very well organized and the parking at the sod farm and school bus shuttles to and from the airport spot on !!! It was a wonderful sight to behold and glad I was there.I was joined by my brother from Winnipeg and arrived in Mississauga to visit my sister and brother in law ,we all attended the show.Even though my sister and bro in law both work for Air Canada ,they are not really big "airplane fans"...but that changed on Saturday ,as they found

Just got my ticket to Toronto confirmed ,arrive on June 14 and will be at the airshow on Saturday..... I can`t tell you how much i`m looking forward to comming. I was at the museum last July for the first time and was very impressed with the displays. See you all there. Paul T

Sheesh ,been quite awhile since i`ve been around here ! I should be at the airshow and brother am I ever stoked about going !! I`ll be in Mississauga visiting family and this is on my list ! See you there ! Cheers Paul T

I usually just replace the balsa with Basswood ,plenty strong and also keeps the rocket light.I f you use an F motor ,make sure it`s not the Estes E black powder motor ,just not enough power for this kit.Although I`m sure you know this already.That is indeed a fine kit ! Enjoy !! Our club is having a high power launch this May.We got our restricted aircraft waiver approved for 9000 feet AGL. Some of the guys are bringing some "M" impulse motors.I`ll be flying mostly H and J with a few L`s.I can hardly wait. Paul t

Depending on motor size/impulse ,rocket size & weight and estimated altitude ,electronics (altimeters/timers) are used in rockets set up for dual deployment.At the highest point of travel(apogee) the altimeter will sense this (pre-set) and set off a charge ,releasing a drouge parachute.This smaller parachute stabilizes and slows the rocket until a predetermined altimeter setting is reached (usually 500 - 800`) at which time a secondary charge goes off and releases the main parachute/chutes,If all goes well ,the whole thing should land pretty close to the launch area. Sometimes......it can

Now at 49 years old ,it costs on average between $40.00 - $ 70.00 bucks a pop ! More for the bigger 6 grain 54mm motors.These are composite AP motors ,the same stuff used in the Space Shuttle solid boosters. We appply for waivers ,to secure airspace when flying high power or rockets weighing over 3.3 pounds ,which pretty much includes most of our stuff. Although ,I still like flying those black powder "D" engines. Paul T

I`m pretty big time into LPR ,MPR and HPR (low ,mid and high power rocketry) ,but getting more and more into high power (H ,I ,J ,K and L impulse CTI re-loadable motors 160-5120 Newton-seconds or 1,150 LBS. thrust average) It`s a blast.....but mucho $$$$ Those The Launch Pad kits are great kits ,but they need moderate skills to build ,as they are not "Tamiya /shake and bake " kits ,but lend themselves to detail and scratch work.I`ve builr quite a few of their kits,and they can be made into museum pieces. The sky IS the limit ! Paul T

I think the idiots are the parents.And watch who call an idiot ! Paul

No helmets, no pads ,play outside untill it gets dark ,no car seats ,good ole` lead paint ,asbestos diapers ,get an F in school and fail ,you lose the game ...no trophy ,you had winners and losers ,everybody had a BB/pellet gun ,everybody got a good spanking, no PETA ,no political correctness and most of all....... NO SOCIAL ENGINEERING !!!!! Should be nice in another 25 years ! Paul T

I`m glad to see you keep her memory fresh in your heart ,and continue to do so.My father passed when he was 57 ,but my mum is 81 and doing great.I tell her I love her every chance I get ,did not do that with pops ,and regret that very much. Paul

sweet

nice

nice

I don`t make it here as much as I used to, but I have to say Happy Birthday to one of the best sites out there ! When I got into modeling , I was so very fortunate to find ARC and all the great people that make it that way ! THANKYOU !! Paul T

I was thinking of doing the same thing myself.Deer season starts in November where I live ,so most camo does not really work ,as there is little to no foliage on the trees and usually snow on the ground.I was thinking of buying black Carhartt overalls and doing a white/gray pattern to blend in with the trees ,which are mostly Aspen/Cottonwood where I hunt. Grouse ,duck,goose and deer.......oh boy oh boy !!!! Moose and Elk.......not this year . Paul T

I belong to a gun forum where we may also buy rifles ,handguns etc. from each other.Under your name and avatar ,you have a trader rating.....the more you trade ,purchase etc. the higher your number.Many of us will not deal with newbs or people with a low number ( depending on what it is ) until you build trust with the members and you earn a few transactions.You may also click on the persons number and read about any + /- transactions they have (feedback) I never trade without all the info I demand (full names ,phone numbers ,addresses etc)....none of this cloak and dagger BS ! Excuses are

Cliff ,glad to see you back on ARC and a warm hello.Not been here too often myself (pretty much out of the hobby for now) but I`m glad I checked in and caught your post. Sincerely Paul T

Nothing says spring ,like the song of a Robin ! The Geese are here as are a few Red Winged Black Birds and my two a pack neighbour ,gleefully butting out the first cancer stick of the pre-spring equinox.... Bravo oh globe of life ! Paul T (yah I know....non smoker for almost 9 years)

Lights down low....some vanilla scented candles and a cheap bottle of wine......welcome ,don`t look back and relax....relax...... Doing the same gig pretty darn soon myself.But then again ,after my " fissure" opperation...this will be a piece of cake. Life knows no humility ! Better to live than die a foolish man. Paul T

I`ve been down that road also....in fact it`s happened while getting a quote to a person in the US. The kit I was selling was $ 15.00 and the shipping was $ 21.00.Buyer backed down (don`t really blame him either) Paul T

I seem to remember something like Citadel white or something like that.I think it was MadMike who used to mention something about this particular brand.Only thing being, I`m not sure if it was an acrylic based paint or not.For myself, I always use a flat gray primer before I spray white (flat or gloss) ,never really had a problem with coverage this way ,but you always hear about people having a hard time with coverage.I think also ,some may try to get too much coverage at one time ,as opposed to laying down multiple light coats. Please keep in mind , I use enamels thinned with lacquer thinn

I got it from work (I work for East Side Ventilation) so you see what I do for a living.I would think the exhaust fan would cost about $ 100 -120 Canadian. The one i use is rated @ 500 CFM. Intake and dischage via 8 " round pipe. PT

I feel your pain.But that`s the great thing about the net.....you can hide behind it...and still call yourself a man. We have all heard the BS and all the favorites...like....I forgot....I`m in the service and stepped on a land mine.......my wife`s dating my dog.....I have asthma......I`m a retard.Fact is ,all these leeches have an excuse ,and they don`t cut it.Make a deal ,follow through or take a F%$#&^ hike.Nothing pi$$*^ ME off more than these slobs comming here and taking good people for a ride.It`s rude....it`s an act of cowardness....it shows no class ......and you know for a fact,
