Quick thoughts

So, I am actually kind of impressed right now with radioshack and how they are really making an effort to start offering some more high quality tools for makers. They have this whole "pro line" set of soldering tools which actually look like they don't suck. Personally I actually use a radioshack iron because at the time it was what I could afford, and just never ended up upgrading. I did pick up a tip cleaner from them today, which is the ball of copper instead of a sponge. It looks like it is a nice addition to my tools, and well worth the investment to not have to deal with a crappy sponge for cleaning the tip of my soldering iron.

Reichard magic

I got in my ALES shop the other day and am now starring on construction.  Yes I know I still have to post a build log for the other glider. But today I got the springs for the pull-push system and the horizontal stabilizer mount installed.
