Yup mean folks wanting to start learning to fly and at the same time wanting to do so by doing a conversion from a Glow plane to an electric one on their first airplane. I have had many such requests, that just makes no sense at all and is a sure fire roadblock to success in many cases.

My recommendation to all the newer folks for first, second and heck even third airplanes - First decide the propulsion system you want to start with and only then pick your aircraft and pick one intended for the propulsion you have choosen.

I relented with one fellow last year that just last year insisted it had to be electric but he just had to have a Senior Kaydet. I told him ok I would work with him except I wanted no part of the conversion and would not reccomend anything as I simply just don,t care and do not keep up on electrics as I have zero interest. He would have to do his own research from others locally and heaven forbid on the forums.

Well he ended up with the electric Senior about a year later and it flys fairly well however since he started from ground zero equipment wise he is into it a thousand bucks or just over ($1000.00). The worst part is he is into it so deep, and I have him soloing it just fine he won,t fly it any more. Because he is into it so deep, he just bought another parkie which he will never really progress with.

Grey Beard the London Bridge float fly this year is November 2,3 and 4. I am not gonna fly in it this year, if all the P's and Q's fall into place I am gonna fly to the Float fly on floats and hopefully on the 3rd

Hope ya can come and bring the Swoose and we can get you and my buds Swoose together at least for pics or even flying together.
OK now what would the the plural For Swoose be, Swooses? Swoosies? Swoosi's? Swissies? Aw heck, anybody see where I left the Geritol?
