Plow, you fightin the trend: going from BIG (Extra) to small (foamy). Everybody seems to be going big nowadays.

I think you are gonna have a blast with the Profile. If you are in a building mood sometime I'd recommend the Primo 40. Funnest most amazing plane I have ever owned (got a half dozen Profiles, and love em all).

Thanks, U2 old friend. Glad to see you keeping your hand in here, BTW.
I really want the Extra Extra V2 70" for my 1.80. It's a short kit and I just haven't ever gotten to the point where I don't have something else that I want to do with my time and money more. Maybe this winter. The primo is a 60 size right? How does it compare to the moass? Won't I need a 1.25 for that?

The foamy is a friggin' blast! I should have gotten one sooner and I suspect I'll feel the same way about the profile.

I didn't either. I had to buy a textbook a few semesters back with paypal. You can, apparently, use a credit card or debit card to pay someone thru paypal without actually getting an account.

WOW talk about TV's mine to took a dive but I went to the thrift store an bought a 27 inch for 25 dollars.
With everyone buying those flat screens you can get an old one at the thrift store really cheap, which means more rc stuff

I gave away a 27" Sony XBR. Stereo sound bass booster, PIP, 16 channel tile, instant replay, freeze frame, blah, blah, blah... It was great in 1994? I was rejected by Neilsen ratings because my TV system was too "technically difficult". It weighs a bout 80 pounds.

I had a 36" JVC that died after about 14 years.

I think the 36" JVC LCD is about 8 pounds. Mom's 32" Vizio is about 6 pounds.

Technology...

I remember when I started working in electronics, we had 8" floppy disks for storage that held 128KB of data. I was looking for SDHC memory cards and they are up to 32GB micro sd cards the size of my little fingernail! I am soooooo old.
