Status: offline 		I'm 11, almost 12. I've had countless hours of simulator training. I have a Hobbico Nexstar and I'm waiting to train in the spring. My dads hangar -


Pizazz (one awesome red, white, and black checkered pattern plane)
Pattern plane (has no name - we just call it the pattern plane)
Phoenix Dolpin (my 2nd plane once I'm done training)
Midwest Citabria Kit (ready for covering and I came up with an original design and color scheme for it)
P-51 (will be sold to purchase a Corsair)
SIG Mayhem (still in box)

Status: offline 		Currently, my dad sold the P-51 but, did not get a Corsair. For X-mas he got some Tower Hobbies gift cards and used the gift cards + P-51 money to buy a Spitfire ARF. And the Mid West Citabria is done with the covering and decals - cowling, struts, and prop need to be painted.

Status: offline 		I started flying nine years ago and bought a brand new os-91 FS with the pump, got an instructor and crashed the plane, the engine with only a couple of flights on it had a hole in the belly pan and i was told the engine was no good but he could use it for parts, the next day i seen an add looking for a belly pan so i lost a new engine and being disabled could not buy another right then but he got a new engine out of the deal, how can a man do that to a newbe and live with it.
