I've purchased mine from BRS Hobbies on a couple of occasions and am planning to do so again in the very near future.
Who are you flying with in NorCal, Jim? LuNAR?
Actually, I'll be at the LUNAR launch at Snow Ranch this coming Saturday. Will you be there?
I've got a scheduling conflict for this one but will be flying with the 4-H group up here in the Big Tomato on the following Saturday.
Hope to make the March edition of the Snow Ranch gathering. I'm easy to spot on the field. My avatar is the hat I normally wear.
The 4-H group has an agreement with an aviation-oriented landowner that permits them to fly off his property. The field is located between Highway 99 and Elverta just north of Elverta Road.
From 50,000 feet, it looks like 7 miles north of Sacramento and 5 miles east of the Sacramento airport.
The field is basically a private airport with a few buildings and a packed dirt runway surrounded by grass and grazing land.
Yes, I've heard of that place. Mike (I think) from Quasar One and I emailed back and forth a few times last year, and he told me that he and some buddies of his launch there sometimes. Do you think the owner would let the new SARG club launch there?
The Thread Exchange on-line is where I get most of my supply. www.thethreadexchange.com
Pratt Hobbies is also a good source for smaller quantities.
