Thank you for your response. I fly a Sky Scooter and a Tiger Moth pretty well now and train like a demon with AeroFly Pro, with wind and turbulance as appropriate for whatever model. Flown the scooter so much that I've burned out one motor already. Been flying F3A types on Aerofly Pro in various wind conditions to get ready for the Tangent.

The scooter and the moth I fly at local parks. I have flown the scooter at the club I just joined, which is where I'll be flying the Tangent. I'm using a Futaba 6X, so I can buddy box at the field with the Tangent if I want. Truthfully, I haven't decided yet. I think I can take off and land myself; all the guys at the club are experienced in glow only. We fly one at a time. If I wait for still wind conditions, I think I'll be okay.

I am also getting a .48 Hangar 9 glow trainer (Easy 2) ready for instructor training. Definitely trainer cord time for this. My first glow plane.

By the way, I got a very quick response from Global/Wattage customer service, and they said to bend the bottom of the strut 90 degrees to the side. So that answers that.

Regards and happy flying.
