If you're ever in Myrtle Beach.....

Bought a 1oz fuel tank and he gave me some screws. Free of charge.

I though that the smallest AP was .061

Whoops, my bad. AP hornet .061.

I've been to Ed's Hobby Shop. We rented a front beach house at Pawleys Island one Thanksgiving week and I took a couple of planes. I popped a glowplug, the first time I've ever had one fail. We drove 25 miles up the coast to MB and found his little store. I've dropped in a couple of times and wondered if it was still there. Glad to know it is. Otherwise, Myrtle Beach is a good one to stay away from. When I think of the beach in South Carolina, I think of long stretches of sand and surf, salt marshes and blue crabs, oyster banks, whiting and black drum, herons, egrets and ospreys... and bikinis. When i think of Myrtle beach, I think of roller coasters, footlong hotdogs, rednecks, motorcycles and auto exhaust and noise. Kind of like the state fair, only more sickening because it's permanent.

I just nip down to Brighton or Dover when the weather is nice it's lovely.

I meant myself included, sorry about that.
I'm a tire-smoke eatn', beer can crushin' loudmouth from way back!

I can only add that if you are ever going SAN FRANCISCO:

"Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" - Scott McKenzie - 1967

Yup, I was there as a student at UC/Davis but not as a "hippie". Ah, '67: "The Summer of Love" (and std's)

I return you now to Myrtle Beach.

Hmm. People come from all across the country; California, even Quebec. Must be something inviting if people will come that far. It's sloped, lots of sand, not too many shells, and if you go in September like I did, the place is much more relaxed. Lower hotel rates, less traffic and noise, not as many people on the beach, not too hot, and the water isn't too cold.

I like it the way Rusty described it Just and Bikinis and its practically heaven.

MFDude is right. MB is much better in the off season. You can get a hotel room really cheap in the winter.
