hey guys,

s, im glad you're liking your new name (new twist anyway on craft.) i've begun to get a kick out of it too.

tom, your logic won't work on my wife, she thinks i'm her servo.

don, crash craft huh? i like that one too.

snoop, the guys are right about checking out those options a little closer. sorry it ain't so easy there for you as it was here for me. my instructor is very interested in growing the club larger. and there's a few more members who are willing to take up his slack when he can't be there. i very much appreciate his giving me his flying time too and i make sure to tell him so regularly just to be certain he hasn't forgot that i appreciate it.

although i have only one solo flight under my belt, and KNOW that i couldn't be successful flying alone just yet, there's still the temptation to crank it up and try it. there's a lot of guys who can't resist, hence your instructor's 2nd plane advice. i HOPE that's what he's thinking. if he's thinking he might not be attentive while you're flying he's not the instructor you want. my instructor has kept me from crashing (with the buddy cord/box combo) about a dozen times in 3 or 4 lessons. he won't allow me to buy a starter, a battery, a flight box or even fuel until he oks it. i'm 54 yrs old and feel sort of like a kid for that, but the grown up in me is richer by a dozen planes for it too. well, one plane richer. i wouldn't buy a dozen without having wings first.


if you check out the farm airport or the other club and get the warm welcome you need to feel,,, look no further,,, you're HOME. even if the warm welcome is a longer drive, it ultimately will be much a shorter distance to getting your wings. and that's where your friends will be. i've met a few snobs in my lifetime, but i never wanted to get to know any of them well.

but, that's just my stupid opinion,
