Today I shipped out the two unbuilt kits I had left and want to wish everyone here a wonderful New Year.? I've been here for a long time but with my arthritic hands no longer able to build 'em.? I want to thank everyone who over the years posted great advice here. NOTE:? I've been here since the Yahoo Group days.

Thank you Ben,

My overall health is quite good, it's mostly the RA in my hands. I had wanted to build the receivers to prove to myself that I could still do it, but it's very likely I might have "fluffed it" while handling and or soldering the tiny parts. ? Decided it was best to pass it on and I think the two receiver kits went to a good home.

AND, thank you for keeping the Softrock legacy going. . .
