If you are going to write something long, don't write it here.

Do it in your e-mail editor or a wordprocessor. Make sure you save it every few mintues so if you system crashes you don't lose it all.

Then you can more easiliy edit and spell check. Then when you have it just right, you can copy and paste your post onto the board.

That is how I do it.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I've been dinged a few times by long-winded and carefully-worded posts. I take too long, the cookie times out or something, and I get "We're Sorry!... blah blah blah..."

Luckily, I use a web browser that retains what I wrote. I can simply hit the "Back" button on my browser to return to the reply window, copy what I wrote to the clipboard, back up to the forum page, reselect the thread, paste in my reply, then hit "OK." It sounds more complicated than it really is.

Congratulations on your success, DFalpha!

Status: offline 		thanks! today a flew again. this time I was less timid. I did loop after loop and stall truns as well as a few chandelles. I only ran into trouble when I did a loew pass and pulled out to late. luckily only a broken wing and a miniscule slice out of the cabin!!! I love this thing!

Tomorrow, put the streamers on the wings.

Status: offline 		I am able to go flying every morning this week. Beautiful weather right now. It's great to get to fly so much.
All my models are small electric type and old timer slow flyers.
Next week will be with family. Both me and my wife have a large family. It will be good to see everyone.
Happy flying to you, and hope Santa brings you some neat new toys.

Status: offline 		Damm you'r lucky john, it's blowing a gale around here and i haven't had a fly in over 5 weeks. but i have a Zagi on the way, so i might be doing a bit of sloping after Chrismas, after i get my advanced trainer going. any idea what a good replacement for an OS10 might be?
