    Hi Alvin…..I was looking over your interesting FreeFileSync
    tutorial. Nice little program. I have it working well except the
    automated process/batch. Not sure where I went wrong.
    I set it up in the Task Mgr..but no go. Any input would be welcome.
    Thanks.

    Mr. Trusty,
    I attended your photography presentation at the CREATE conference on June 16th. I hope to adapt your plan and start a photography club for my gifted elementary students basde on your concepts. While viewing them, somehow I accidentally deleted the link. HELP!
    Could you please email me with the links? I also have a fantastic photo app I found that I want to share with you.
    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Greetings,

    I found your YouTube channel and then your blog while hunting for plans for the RC Powers F18 V5 Park Jet.
    I have always been fond of the F18, probably has something to do with seeing the Blue Angles when I was a kid. At any rate I’ll get to the point; I’ve wanted to build an F18 Park Jet ever since I first saw the RC Power videos and site back when it was popular. Well as I was quite busy with working way too hard in the corporate rat race, I never found the time. Now at age 44 I have finally purchased a modest home and pulled back from my workaholic burnout career path to just live and enjoy life. 

    I was extremely saddened to see that RC Powers just sort of vanished, there is just a broken forum there now. At any rate I am assuming you have the plans for the F18 V5, which is precisely what I am looking for. If you know of a proper channel where I can buy the plans now and support whoever owns the IP now, please let me know. If not, I would be absolutely thrilled if you could email me a copy of the PDF file. I am assuming you have the plans because you built one.

    Please respond one way or another, I would be most grateful if you could help direct me in any way.

    P.S.
    I probably should have lead with this part but I wanted to tell you that I think both your YouTube and your blog are fantastic and I appreciate you staring with the world.

    Fingers crossed I get and email back from you with F18 V5 plans or any hint on how I can track them down

    Thank you
