        Hi Rex: great to see you online again. Haven’t seen any of your posts for a little while. These tanks, especially the larger 110 gallon models are a process. The only problem remaining is keeping them from getting damaged or destroyed upon landing on “Mars. “ (My wife and I joke how hard and tough the ground is here, with very little moisture.) I’m thinking I might have CraftCloud make a couple from Dan’s STLs like we did for the P-47 centerline drop tank. That thing is practically indestructible! If not that method, possibly getting a foam copy fabricated somehow. We’ll see…

        cheers

          Davegee,
          I've been flying a lot and little shop time. Will get back on the Phantom this fall for Toledo 27. Kinda ran out of workshop steam last March. I plan to test fly my P-47 and FL P-38 in the next few weeks. I have them set up on my new Specktrum 8+ and have been flying a E-Flite Air Tractor 1.5m to get used to the new radio. Bought the Air Tractor July 4 and have 40 flights on it. I am keeping up on your progress weekly.
          Hope FL introduces some new Warbirds 1.6m this year. Not real interested in the small one, hard to see for me.
          A friend of mine is learning to fly EDF jets and in 4 weeks totaled out 2 and just orders another one. On his 3rd one in 4 weeks. Wish I had his money(he's still working for his hobby money)
          Best Regards, Rex
