perhaps a "wanted" thread? by
Scott Williams[_2_]
I'm returning to service a Glasflugel Mosquito,
Does anyone have a Winter 80 mm vario in knots for sale?
How about a winter capacity .45 L of the style prior to the newest cardboard tubes?
Or, A good boom Microphone compatible with Dittel radios?
Thanks,
Scott
