Guys, I just want to say as a newer flyer (going into my 4th year of flight) it’s all about proper motivation and the help of others. Yes I have several TFG ARF's and Composite turbine jets, but I have a strong desire to build a plane, but have many fears.
Heck I have paid for 2 Top Flight Giant Corsair kits that I have solid both for 1/2 price as I chickened out both times, and My boy built one and after 3 years he still is not done.
But I fell in love with NASA Scale (a lot like Scale Masters) competition, and after winning 1st at a few local and at the finials last year, I’m being moved out of the Novice Class and put into the Expert Class. So now if I want to be competitive I will have to stick build my own plane.
So I have two birds I’m working on at the same time to help me with my short attention issues, a Jerry Bates 82in Dauntless and a Fiberglass Fuze Ziroli panther (PST) Im hoping to put a P80 that I already have in the panther, and I’m trying to get a Satio 300 twin I got of this site to work that some one solid me as great running........
But if it was not for the fact I have to build more than 50% of the plane myself and come up with the documtashion I wouldn't even be trying to build these two birds, Lets face it I can get a Skymaster Panther that is a little bigger, 100% sexy and painted for less than Im going to put into this kit.
But at the end of the day I think the main issue all of you are missing is America has changed sooo much, As a Mechanic in the Army, it blows my mind how many people are scared to do simple things like change the batteries in the cars. But this is because there parents came from a time when they were too busy to work on their own stuff, and never passed the skills to their kids. So we end up with more and more kids that have no concept of making something work.
