    I have two disks burned off for you. It should be a total of 4 disks. There may be 5 if I can find another disk.

    picked up the firing box yesterday from Jay and it is now set up with 1 - 50 round single, 2 - 75 round duals, and one 25 round spurt gun. All guns fire hard, fast and consistant. Th e spurt should make for a great demo as it will sread 1/8 inch balsa to bits.

    Sorry guys, I can't man the Shearwater display. The roof has sprung a leak that I need to find and fix this weekend. Don't know how long that chore will take. Numerous other spring chores have prevented work on the Minoatur which is apart for BB cannon repairs and unfit to display. Might be able to drop off HMS Gorgon, which is battle ready.

    Sorry to hear about your roof Bob, I can sympathize. Just had to do mine. If you need to have your roof redone, Amigos roofing did an excellent job on mine and at a good price.

    Hi Paul, how was your trip? We will be there for between 0800 and 0830 on Sat. If you can bring a DVD or two that would be awesome, we can't find the ones we had.

    Day 1 of the Shearwater show has been completed. Not as big of a crowd as the year before. This year we were located between the tracker and the BANSHEE. Here are some pics.

    Yes the crowds were down but it was a nice break for the afternoon. We were told but the director of the museum that we were the " best part" of the show for the base comanders son out of all the displays. There also was not as many displays this year do to the restriction of space, which will be worse next year, I mean how many airplanes do the really need in an aviation museum - you see one it has wings and will fly and the next one has wings and will fly so they really only need one.
    I think the firing box is the real grabber at the show though. with the coffee cups riped apart Jay put the pop cans in play and they were basicly shreaded in seconds, also a great way to test Scharnies guns while there. Sunday is normally the bizzy day so we will see how it goes

    Well its over and done. small crowds, lots of interest and lots of bbs fired. We worked on the guns to twicked them, Steve Crane worked on the Nagato and fixed a few problems and before you know it we were packed up and on the way home. I found a way to use the 4oz capsuals from walmart with a valve from banchie in the Roberts so there is my back up for the year.
