Sincraft,

WOW! What a crash. You must me some good R/C plane mechanic. Only an hour in the shop. That sounds good after the way you described the damage.

My club is allowed to use my small town's airport for our flying field. The town got a new runway and my club got permission to use the old one. The new runway is 4,500 feet I think. The local planes still use our field for a taxi way some of the time, but there's so little air traffic there that it's no problem to anyone. We get to watch Cesnas etc take off and land while we're out there. Our runway is about 3,300 feet long and we get right about in the middle of it, so there's plenty of room for aborted takeoffs. The airport caretaker bush hogs the grass, naturally, so we can soft land if needed. The only thing I'll need them to add for my learning experiences is a big landing pad for a beginner, a Nerf pad. ha

Hey, Sincraft, there's another good idea for newbies like me , a glow fuel R/C Nerf plane.

So Next time:

Keep your plane aerobatic, not acrobatic. ------- elad
