It would be fun but I will probably miss since I have to stay and mow the yard once the swamp dries out. . . . Have Fun! (Don't buy too much!)

We displayed Derby Worx there last year, it was a great time for both young and old.
The indoor RC dirt track was fun, I was like a big kid in a candy store.

I have never heard anything really good about it but that may be because they are keeping it a secret from me.

I have heard it's not as good as graphite. There used to be a thread on the Derbyworx board discussing it. Lucky 13 MaxV did a Product review on one brand in his October 2006 newsletter. He indicated he had also tried another brand earlier and found performance using WS2 to be inferior to graphite. Of all the results I've heard on the subject, it's been thumbs down for WS2. That being said, new stuff (i.e. new brands and new blends) seem to come out every year, if you could buy it fairly cheap it might be worth a test. Given the history thus far, we wouldn't spend any significant bucks on it. Bubba

Hey Papa Woody, did you make it to the hobby expo? our scout troop was supposed to attend on "scout day", but leader cancelled. Too bad, since the expo was 2 miles from my house. Enrico-Parrot Racing

Yes I did make it, there were only like 2-4 kids playing w/ a few prebuilt cars ....I was expecting more from it. I talked to Bill the way he talked next yr there might be a better origanized or announed race. However he did have trophys at the expo anticipating like there would have been more interest < my opinion> But in all it was GREAt! I just got back the 17th from orlando a HUGE covention IAAPA, 4 days of attending I still wish I could have had more time... I did end up buying a air brush package for tatoos , but is universal to other paints

Give Derby Doc a shout. He has a bunch of different styles of vinyl stencils.
His E-mail is: tjjohnson6231@charter.net
For practice with your new airbrush try spraying on an old piece of glass.
Cleans up easy with solvent or a single edge razor blade. The glass lets you see how "thick" your shading is.
An old picture frame from a garage sale is what I use.... think it cost me a nickle
Most of all have fun !!!!!!!!
