<DIV> Well my pickup (plane) always works not as pretty as it could be but very reliable. If there are many of us that think this way we as pattern flyers could loose our ANAL status, LOL</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>I don't believe in pampering my airplanes, so I don't wax them. If you start pampering an airplane, first thing you know, it'll want a new glow plug every flying session, a new prop or a new type of fuel with higher nitro content.

<DIV>I think of my airplanes as pickup trucks. I expect them to be ready to go, no matter how badly I treat them. An airplane should be grateful when you charge the batteries every week or so or use an old cleaning rag to wipe areas you touch to pick them up so you don't get oil on your hands. </DIV>
