Beautiful set Dean! Those are some of the areas I long to see. My wife want's me to take her to the east coast as she has never been. Nows the time to load up and go see the world.
You may not want to go back to CA !!!
I have a friend who was charging a LiPo battery pack for his radio control model plane. It was in his garage and he left it on charge for a few minutes. It caught fire and he lost everything. Do not leave a LiPo on charge unattended. If you notice anything unusual, disconnect it and take it outside ASAP! You might save your home.
I think what looks like they might be ribs, is actually a blanket.
As a radio control model airplane nut for the last forty some years, batteries are as very important of our hobby. I have never seen a NiCd swell, but they will leak their components. Dangerous only if you try to eat them. LiPos are another animal! They will swell and that is not good. They are prone to catch fire spontaneously especially if they are over charged. Most RC'ers use special chargers that stop the charge when it reaches 100%. And we should never leave a battery on charge unattended. I had a friend have his house burn down when he left his battery on charge in his garage and it caught fire. And don't even drill a hole in a NiCd!!. I have a few NiCds that are slightly swollen, and I keep them in a steel Ammo can. but they are ready to be retired, before it's too late.
The airplane looks like a Navion to me. It was a great airplane and still highly thought of. I think North American made it, but I'm not positive..
About a year ago, a friend of mine took a photo of a friend and me talking. A little later he showed us a video (on his cell phone) of us singing in the voice of a well known singer. Our mouths were synced perfectly with the song. This was done with his cell phone! What's next?
How can all of those birds be called tanagers, when they all have different colors? Beautiful birds, no doubt!

I would like to see the shot you must have taken a few seconds after that shot.

Designed back when real designers had an eye for beauty. Most of the new cars hard hard to tell apart unless yu can see the emblem of the hood or trunk.
Beautiful car. Someone should try making them again.
I think Glasspar was also known for fiberglass boats back then.
I know what you mean.
I commented on the new format of picking the area we want to look at when the change was made to selecting a single topic. It was much better and he choice of topics was much broader. Some topics even disappear if nothing new is posted. PLEASE go back to the original format.
