Now it is Monday evening in Tokyo.

Having just finished dinner, I am going to start packing for CPC because I am leaving home for LAX tomorrow noon.

This time I am prepared better than usual.

2 F-1's are ready to practice, while 2 new Can-Am's are already done.

Having finished trimming & mounting  Can-Am bodies, I will reinforce pin-holes & bodies, put rear spoilers on, trim interiors here or in a hotel room near BPR.

Looking forward to seeing you all very soon,

I will be there Friday and Saturday morning for anyone who is using a DR Controller. I will be happy to change worn alligator clips, clean and align the wiper arm and bands. This will all be free to anyone using my controller, if someone needs anything more drastic I will have loaners while the works is done.
