DIMENSIONS OF A MICROWAVE

Since I use my shop to make a lot of parts for my RC Models, I thought I would put in a picture of our club flying field and one of my models, a Fokker D7. This model has a 50 inch span and I use a Saito 4 stroke for power. It was winter here in Central Oregon when this was taken a few yrs ago, and the grass had turned brown, but some of us fly year around, even use skis when the snow comes and its 15 or 20 degrees out! (our little building has a wood stove, coffee pot, microwave etc. so its really fun to fly here in winter). Our grass strip is about 125 x 425 feet and not much around except sage brush. We fly with the sun at out backs looking at the Three Sisters Mountains and the cascade range; an absolutely beautiful flying site. Our club has about 35 members and on a good day, we will have between 8 and 14 flyer's turn out....not much waiting to fly!! Elevation here is about 3500 feet. Two of us in our club are Ham Radio Operators, and we put in a weather station on 2 Meters, on the national APRS frequency. The wind speed, direction and temp. are transmitted every 9 minutes and one of our local home 2M stations picks up the signal and puts it on the internet so all members, hams or not, and anyone else round the world can log on and see what the weather is like out at the field! Saves driving out in the morning when you look and see the wind is blowing 20 mph!!

If you have any questions or comments about the RC aspect of my post, then perhaps contact me off list, so as not to get off topic on the groups..I am always happy to chat about RC.!!

Jerry Raskin's Comments on the MC3 Turbo:
“The Ortofon MC 3 Turbo high output moving coil phono cartridge is a very satisfying performer. Its tight bass is detailed and thrilling. I found myself completely involved in the music. This cartridge has been a favorite of the Ortofon high output series for its neutrality and silky smooth performance.”
