I fully expected the 18D to be the Sick F*$K among us. Rig up Doc, no reserve need we will be too low, we are jumping in to this one...Stop using the silver bullet on your self.
Good day Gents! Looking forward to looting your information and minds in the name of making my scale models and learning more about that which I enjoy....Planes and anything to do with them. Take care gents!!
