LoL, yeah I can see it now, hiding behind a tree with a bag over your head and a transmitter antenna poking out the other side. I started this hobby with a plane (& I use the term loosely) called a Durastick I think, Dura something anyway. Guy gave it to me along with the transmitter and all the goodies. That thing had the most - forsaken ugly orange wing and square pvc fuse...... Well, anyways, I stripped the servo's and stuff outta it and bought a Hanger 9 Easy 2. While today I think it looks like a trainer, at the time I thought it was the prettiest plane. I still have it and drag it out sometimes for a relaxing day. I always figured to put floats and lights on it and use it for "unique" flights. Night time flying and that kind of thing.

I just been having a bit of bad luck no doubt caused by to much going on at one time. I have been trying to squeeze in as much flying as possible in between work and the 100 other comitments we all have and guess I have been over doing it a bit trying to get as much flying in as possible before the days get to short. I was starting to get a handle on the imac manuevers and hoping to learn the basic sequence before it gets to late in the year. The whole reason I'm building the 1/4 scale extra is to try and compete a little next year. Nuttin serious, just a little fun stuff ya know?
