i wouldn't want to work in a Mcdonalds.
I will be getting a job as a life guard soon. Getting paid to do nothing but watch fit girls swimming sounds like fun to me!

WOW!!!! When I was you guys age (I'm 37 now), I would have sacrificed certain body parts to have hangars like that!!!! I was just looking at the big boxes at the hobby shop (drooling) thinking, "I could never do that".

What happened to your Sig Extra 300XS ?
...I dont have a Sig Extra...are you talking about my ISC Extra 300? If you are.... It crasheed when my dad was flying it and he was taking off. Then got up about 5 feet and what I think happened is the plane tip stalled, went inverted and dove into the ground....The plane was always a problem child and was WAY overweight.

This is Max. In this photo, he is almost 4-1/2.
He absolutely LOVES anything "Airplane" (wonder where that comes from) and built the Hobbistar .60 with my assistance.
At this time, he can taxi, fly race-tracks, figure-8's and shoot mock approaches.
I give him till the end of the summer, and he'll solo.
