Hey Donnyman....No offense taken, hell this is only my 2nd balsa kit I've done into... Used to building things.. chassis up, need to keep brain & hands busy...& heart....I couldn't agree more on putting her in the air,... I have a hangar 9 hellcat -(it's really a sweet plane) & she's not going in the air ,until I'm proficient...I have a Cessna (unfortunately low wing) but I've had it up a couple times (acres of farm land, no peoe,houses ect...It's awesome) I think my flyers club closed, so no ama sanctioned field for me.....& I met a guy that flew p47's in WW2... He said he'd train me.... Godsend he's been flying for 40 or 50 yrs I think he said? Seems very nice, & extremely knowledgeable, I've been reading up so I know what I'm trying to accomplish. Any & all advice welcome.
