You guys look even more lecherous that I had imagined!

Good find, TOAD.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head since reading about it yesterday. Some people should not be allowed to procreate: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/26/christian-choate-boy-who-_n_884731.html?ref=fb&src=sp

America doesn't lead the world in much of anything anymore, but dang, we know how to do a political scandal. "Weiner-gate", you have to love it! P

Thanks, Snacko. I'll try to join a session soon. P

Guys, Back home after a long stretch "on the road". Would like to do some coops with the Dawgz, just wondering what mod version is current and which TeamSqueek server is in use? Thanks. Pup

Have a look (and a listen, too). Nothing like the sound of two Merlins: http://www.ferociousfrankie.com/video1.html

Nice, Capt!

Sorry to be the whiner, but I'm seeing a lot of this, and it's more than a little annoying: Got an email last week from Webroot Software, informing me that my one-year anti-virus contract had just run out, but they had thoughtfully renewed it for me, and charged my credit card accordingly. Strange, thinks I, as I gave that PC away months ago and had forgotten all about it and Webroot. It turns out the automatic renewal is buried in the terms of use that I had agreed to, but it's very easy to miss. Norton has a similar system, but they do have the decency to email you a week before renewal in case you want to opt out. And buyers of new computers beware: Some new PCs have various bits of software tied to such contracts, and you won't find it unless you really scour the fine print. I've also run into this sort of thing with magazine subscriptions and most recently a gymnasium membership. The latter was an especially nasty surprise. My three year gym contract was about to expire and I knew it contained an automatic renewal clause. I didn't want to renew, so two weeks before the expiration date, I informed the gym owner, who said "If you look at your contract, it specifies if you don't want to renew, you must inform us in writing one month prior..." I managed to talk my way out of the gym situation, and an hour on the phone with Webroot got me a refund. I'll admit I've been careless about the fine print, and will be more cautious in the future. In this tough economy, companies are using every trick in the book to squeeze another buck out of us. Beware! P

Hope ya feel better, BG

Had some trouble getting the 1956 mods to work, so Fruitbat stepped me through things the other day (actually past midnight for him). He quickly got my install sorted out and it's working great. I've always liked the early jets, especially the F-86 and MiGs, so this package is a lot of fun for me. Some new things to play with here: speedbrakes, IR missiles and even a tactical nuke or two! A guy could really wreak some havoc. And you have to love those pretty cockpits!

Just came across this while browsing the model thread. Very nice work. Always loved the 'Stang and a big model like that does it justice. P

This model is called the Cobra. Designed in 1948. Just maidened it today after 5 months of building. Build thread here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1318623 maiden video here: P

Japan is probably the most prepared country in the world for disasters like this, so it's stunning to see the level of devastation. Let's hope the casualties are minimal.

Had my eye on the Rocat Kave, but they would have to be shipped from overseas. Found a pair of Turtle Beach X11s and they are nice. Never knew a Merlin engine sounded so good! And a quick check on TS confirmed the microphone is working right. I got mine at the local Best Buy, but Newegg has them at a good price too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874502007

Happy B-Day, Smash!

Nice find, BluBear.

That is a helluva story. Too bad about your PC hardware, but you're safe.

Thanks, everyone. "Creative Fatality".....you have to love that name.
