Ancient, I know the plane has only been out 4-6 weeks hence my confusion on how they are supposedly breaking so soon. Lemme know how the maiden goes, I can hardly wait to finish mine....Lee and Cannon, yeah the hobby shops down here are par at best, everybody is an expert but no one could tell me how to wire up a safe fly kill switch. Just frustrates me thats why now i try to read a bunch of different forums and learn by trial and error. I have a flying field bout 15 min from my house but those guys arent real helpfull. I have to drive bout 35 min to another field where they are friendlier and more helpful. Skillet, any plane I mentioned was either a great flying plane according to them or they didnt know..lol granted there is one guy at that shop whom I feel is very knowledgeable and helpful. Do you feel like the dle 30 is over powered skillet cuz one guy asked me why i put such a powerful engine in and i said cuz thats what the manufactur recommended if i go gas...lol But im glad to hear you guys arent having any issues. I hope it stays that way and mine too cuz Im really looking forward to many flights on my Waco. Thanks again fellaz
