Ok,
I've been reading the older thread for the past 6 months (since I got the JBB). That's about how long it took me to catch up.... whew!
It's by pure luck that I even came across the JBB (and leading ultimately to the Spoiler);
My friend Jerry L was given the plane which he had never heard of, by a late fellow club member who ran across it, and though it was a "neat" name.
So Jerry got really good at sport flying (not into 3d stuff) and when I expressed an interest in learning to fly planes back in March '07, He started me on his Kadet LT-40, and then let me try the Big Boy a few times. No buddy box, just hand me the radio after taking it 4 mistakes high and I give it back when I've had enough. Even tried dead stick soaring (which he does, and I do alot on purpose now) and my first landing was in fact deadstick. I became really hooked on flying that plane, and he told me it would be mine when our other friend finally got his second step. So long story short, the Big Boy has been mine since Aug '07 and I love it. He has regretted giving it up ever since, and I was going to surprise him with a new Spoiler when they came out, but I couldn't keep the secret, and we're both awaiting the release of the spoiler! I love these planes!
JB
