Cold Turkey in Florida..

I spent my last too weeks with my wife on vacation in Florida...driving around from Orlando - first to Lake Mary where I met Sig Skyray who already posted a topic on this - then down South  to Miami then Key West, back North to Ft lauderdale, Evergaldes, Naples St Pete and Orlando again...magnificent trip, fifteen hundred miles and lots of sun...this is just a beautiful country.

On my last 2 days in Orlando I was overwhelmed by the cold turkey- if I use this term in the right place, not having smelt burnt nitro and castor for the past 2 weeks...with shaking nostrils I checked out the Orlando hobbyshops dealing with nitro stuff, found only 2...Phil's for one, and Archie's for the other..nice guys, I struck a deal with Archie on 2 digi micro-servos and exchanged COX experience - his is rich one from the 70's in Florida, mine is a yearning one behind the Iron Curtain, but this is another boring strory...
Back in Budapest landing yesterday, I re-launched my Lil'Lostneck (aka Roughneck) project...lost it just before my vacation, and could not settle with the hiatus, and by now, Thursday evening here is where I progressed in a single day ( luckily a national holiday here so I could afford a full-day building -  from scratch, remembering the details of the Lostneck by heart, using the leftover laser-cut balsa sheet "negatives" from the lost one:




This bird will be even better than the lost one, I fashioned the firewall to accommodate any applicable COX powerplant be it Product Reedie/Bee, TD 020/049/050/051 one can possibly think of.

Despite the haste in the building all dimensions/alignments seem OK for the time being and I will make sure this Cold Turkey R/C will have its maiden flight before next Monday...

What else can an addict do after two weeks spent with absence of his drugs... ?????
