OzMo, I'll bet we would have a great day of flyin, either at your place or mine...

I don't know why I bother with this forum. The track record of hundreds of "combat minutes" with no serious mishaps has already been flown and will continue to be flown, regardless of what others who have never tried it will think.
Lou Melancon told me that he tried 1/2A combat once and all they did was "rub wing tips".
Whatever that means, it sounds more like like he needed more practice or lighter planes.
