Well, it is not much of a media watch, because it is such a small market, but I'm going to be on the local cable access television "The Owatonna Today Show" (indian name pronounced oh-wah-tah-na).

(...) Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one to have tackled this problem. As soon as I bought an 8856 helicopter (URL) I thought "That's not how a real helicopter works" and began thinking how to do it properly. This was the main reason I sent TLG (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)
