    I bought this at an estate sale to hang in my garage. The cockpit and wings are one piece that are attached via wooden dowels to the body.

    I got the front set to attach to the cowl but the rears wont go into the body and I'm afraid to push to hard and break the wooden frame.

    It looks ready to fly the servos are there the engine looks in fine shape .The motor has the number 16 on it?

    How can I find out what size propeller to get it?

    I live in a zero crime area. But my 9mm is out of the safe when I'm home without the kids and secure nearby when they are home.

    Here is an updated link with a description of the perp.

    "The man was described as a black male, with dreadlocks, about 5 feet and 10 inches inches tall, with a thin build, according to Capt. Jack Bennett of the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office."

    Upward mobility is most directly linked to intact families and church. And not at all related to poverty.

     

    Bringing some jobs into Camden and spending more money on their schools, even the "right" way, will accomplish nothing.

     

    The more people there are on the government dole the worse Camden gets. Until you stop giving them money that will not change no matter how much more money you send there. Because the government dole always pressures people away from families and away from responsibility. And the people allocating that money to them have no problem with that reality.

    This. Necessity is the mother of invention. As long as we keep feeding them they wont find it necessary to act responsible.

    2 things to fix Camden, a factory for people to work in and a quality educational to change the minds of the kids when their young.

    Ha Ha Ha! Thats pretty funny. As if those things did not exist there before the scum moved in and destroyed it. Or in Patterson, Newark, JC, trenton and so many other places.

    No what ruined it was the animals who live there and Govt trying to force the good people to live with them via section 8 and and other low income housing programs.

    They did what any good person would do under that kind of situaltion.They moved leaving it to the dirt bags.

    Eventually the whole state will be like camden isf the Govt keeps pushing the housing issue.

    My buddy has one of them with intentions of doing what you said. I guess he got a bad one in the bunch because hes had nothing but problems with it.

    Sorry to hear that. Mine eats everything. I have about 500 rds through mine. And being 22 is so hard to find I shoot whatever I can get my hands on. Never had one issue with mine.

    Before you do any of that look at the Sig 226 classic (22lr) . It's a full size gun that eats anything. The best part is you can convert it to a 9mm or 40 cal just by changing the slide and mag no permits needed. It will grow with you as your shooting needs change.

    Quality furniture is now in the WTF-are-you-kidding-me range of prices. Earlier this year I was shopping for couches and I discovered that there is NO difference in quality of construction for pretty much anything from $500 to $2000. Sure, the cloth might be nicer, but the framing seemed to be built to same crappy standards. When you went over $2000 you were looking at a lot branding, with sometimes higher quality.

     

    I ended up flipping LOTS of couches and looking at how they were built, for like 3 weeks of shopping. I have NOT found a couch built at the standards of couches from 20-30 years ago, at any price, in any store.

    I won't buy used couches or anything cloth. As I worry about bedbugs and such. However I needed to refurnish my home so I downloaded the craigslist pro app on my phone and over a few months I got top of the line newer thomasville and ethan allen stuff for 10% of what it costs new. Like new (1996) Mohogany dining room set with six chairs and for $1200. Not a mark or stain on it. Perfect Mohogany end ,coffee and sofa table for $1000 !! Ethan Allen still sells the coffee table for $1500.

    The trick is it takes some time and lots of tire kicking but the deals are out there.

    Funny you mention it. I was thinking of looking in WV this summer myself. I'm about 8 years out from retirement. I'm looking to be as close to the eastern part as I can get.

    Looking for something on or near a lake.Looking for a small town but not to be grizzle AdamsLOL

    But I have not a clue where to look. Thinking of vvisiting the state this summer.

    Dont forget all the illegals holding down jobs for below market wages of $8 an hour. They can do this as they have tax subsidized everything. The number 2 cash business in Mexico is remittances(getting money from abroad) how do you manage to come here for $8 an hour eat and pay rent and still send money home. By us suckers paying there way via taxes thats how.

    Parents looking for a job for their kids? Wow, society is screwed up nowadays. I've read about helicopter parents going to job interviews as well. Just so weird to me.

    My dad did it for me back in the eighties. I was a tough sell. I dropped out. He pulled it off. Got me started in a very good Construction Union.

    I'm there 30 years now. I have a pension and great benefits

    I have the type of dad that would tear the world apart for his kids. And he still will even though his kids are all around 50.

    Best of luck to you on your search. Thats what dads do forever !!

    Sig 226 classic. Can be changed to a 9mm with just a change of the slide also to 40 cal. Great HD gun that can grow with the wifes confidence eats everything as well.

    Nice trigger night sights 9mm and up easy to clean.

    Just kind of hard to find.

    Nice car at a nice price!

     

    I love Domestics!   2 years old with 20K  and like you said a 50% discount!  Can't beat that.

    Yeah got it for about wholesale. Cash is king when dealing with personnel sellers. Nobody has cash. Did you know in an economic downturn people needing loans buy more new cars then people with cash. Its the only way they(broke people) can buy cars.People with cash sit on it. The Mustang is a second car to me . If it were my primary I recommend buying a Honda and driving it till the wheels fall off.

    I bought a used 05 in 07 with 25 k on it. I now have 156k on it with not one issue and 32 mpg @70 mph. Sure its not current and trendy but the best part is still yet to come.

    I can park it anywhere and dont have to worry about dents and such anymore. Plus the insurance is dirt cheap. They get better as they age. Love Honda
