Cleaners<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>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><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<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>
