Very late update.



I assembled the ARF Primary Force at my sons place in LA without a hitch. I got some fuel at the only hobby shop in the area and got in a couple flights with it. I went to a local park to fly a few days later and saw the results of a botched double murder. Not the plane crashing but dead people and injured kids. When I got home I went back to building planes and restoring the El Camino. I scratch built another profile stunter I call Snow Fox. I flew it the other day and it flys great. The El Camino is coming slowly because of parts on back order. If I procede it will be a problem to install it later on so I'm waiting on them. I got most if not all the lights working and the oil and gen. lights on the dash board. I went through 3 carbs. before getting one that works to my liking. I have ordered just about all the parts I will need to complete the car. The exhaust system, pinion seal, windshield, radiator and front end alignment will be taken care of by Richards service center(Richard the rubber king). I bought four tires from him too and he will mount them on the solid aluminum 15 x 7 wheels. He has to get new wheels from someplace before he takes the tires off his trans am and puts them on my rims. Could be a month from now.
