O.S. pattern motors

[Chris Moon]

I think everyone is out.  Last I heard they are due at the end of sept.  
I'm just waiting patiently like a bunch of others.  I know that Russ at 
Pattern Proz in Oklahoma has some coming in soon.  Of course Tower will 
have them first, since they (Great Planes) imports them.  Either way - 
worth the wait.
