Those who have E-Mailed me with a SNail Mail adress will have one within the week (I hope) Anyone else interested in obtaining the plans send me persone EMail with your postal address. A short description to help you decide: Parts cost from $50 to $70 not counting the 12v battery necessary to run the thing. It does NOT fly on a kite, it sits on the ground on top of a 5 ft mast held up by a 3' antenna tripod (about 6 ft total height) You will need to make some basic electrical connections, and some basic mechanical work. Most part are available in your local department store and Radio Shack (with one exception, a gearmotor from Edmund Scientific) The bigger the 12v battery you use the longer it will run (also the more it will cost$),but you want to be able to put it out on/near the flying field, not off in the parking lot. At last weekends Boston Area Stunt Kite Championships (BASK) we had two bubble machines, and were invited to bring them to next months Newport (RI) competition! (we will!) If you are interesed, I'll be glad to help spread the word. Richard in Boston amirault@tiac.net = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
