Hi guys and gals

My self imposed moratorium on model building has me gone for the moment... but hopefully not too forgotten.

I saw this on Hyper Scale last week. I made one last night and thought I would share it with you. It will be great for the grass fields of the early birds.

It works great. Less than $4 for the bug zapper at Harbor Freight, 3 strainer set at the dollar store for... you guessed it... a dollar. The wire is form an old phone charger and I had the clip. Less than an hour to get it all together. Super tool for $5. Running a longer wire out the back keeps it out of the way.

I didn't bother with the connector and soldered the wires inside and to the basket.

BTW... Did I say that it was cheap and easy?[:P]
