Dear Bill;
Thanks for the reply...and I am keeping my fingers crossed and have enough pieces left over (I pray only one piece) to take home when I do fly this three engine slow poke. By the way...who is the expert on "V" tail flying multi's ? Heck...Any kind of "V" tail.

I've flown rotating wings for over 38 years, and twisting wrenches on them for over 22. I had my third flight...where I was not exactly sure of the outcome of the landing...not a nice experience even in the best of conditions. I had a swash plate bearing failure on a Hughs 369 HS, March 27th. of this year, and was just able to land the machine back on the helo deck...seconds prior to the bearing locking up and the aircraft self destructing...the machine was junk when it was all over, with one blade coming through the cocpit and just kissing my helmet. I don't need these kinds of adrenaline rushes in my life. The tuna flying industry has been going down hill for years, money tight, lousy managment-few spare parts and then questionable replacements too. (All U.S. aviation companies are out of the business now, and I do not speak Chinese...and seriously dislike the food). That was a real wake up call for me. It was time to take a break...build a few models instead of an ARF, and smell the nitro burning in my model engines...maybe even pat the little lady on the tail feathers too. Life goes on...

I thought I sold you that model...God Bless, but I sold that kit to a Bill some where here at R/C Universe. By the way, I've four Kyosho old U-ky kits left to sell, two B-29's, one C-124 and a Connie.

Soft landings always,
Bobby of Maui
