Gene, How true - second plane takes a beating. Mine, as I said, was a Tiger 60. Although it was an arf, it was one tough bird. And, I really put it through the paces. I eventually sold it to someone that wanted it worse than I did, he just didn't want to put an ARF together, he wanted one that was ready to fly, as mine was, even though it had been through the wringer and then some.

I never crashed it, but I did manage to put it through some rather tough landings. But, I learned a lot with it.
