F1A Russian Towline For Sale
============================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Dear Modelers:
I recently learned that the Russian towline is no longer available from
its long time supplier. I contacted my friends in Russia and I have
received a limited amount of Russian towline from a new manufacturer.
The new product is almost identical to the old product. The product was
tested by top Moscow fliers and is also being used by them. I have a
limited amount of this product ready to be shipped. Price is $8.00 +
$3.85 shipping via USPS priority envelope within the US.

All competitors and supporters traveling to the World Championships in
Hungary should note the following. The money used is FORINT and not
EURO!!!! Credit cards are widely used in stores and restaurants which
are located in larger cities. You should carry FORINT with you!!! Don't
change a lot of money at the airport!!! Do not deal with people on the
street!!!! For best rates, do your money exchange in Banks or their
money machines. In Budapest the public transportation, buses,
street-cars and metro(subway) are very good and cheap. Taxi is
expensive. You will find plenty of museums, theatres, historical sites
reflecting 1107 years of history, fashion shops, hotels and great
restaurants. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me

Hi Guys----Clarke smiley here just like a bad penny---I wanted to run an Idea
by some of the scale FF types
I had a WW-I (most all freeflight) plans
service. I sold the plans for a song,being the only stipulation--The service st
ay
open as I wanted to do kits. The man whow bought the collection for a songI
thought, It's open, I will fool with WWI FF kits.
Well he sat on it and wont let go.
Trying to rebuild,and have made an offer to some of my old customers,If they
will send their plans so I can copy and return,They can pick out of what I
have for free(yes as in no money) Will pay postage--everything so I can offer a
decent bunch to choose from.
any help would be welcomed
My Best
