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".

Hehe,
...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.

Sad to hear about it Chix. Well, maybe you'll get something better. You know, the person holding the transmitter is always responsible!

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.

Personally I'm not sad the Extra is gone...it was near impossible to enjoy flying it. It had had too many crashes by previous owners.... 5 crashes total = heavy

I have gotten something better, the AW Edge...just flew it recently for the 1st time I absolutely love it....
