Another question about the competition aspect of scale modeling. How many competitions do you attend in a year? I assume the list of events is on the AMA site? Probably not many in the North this time of year. I was reading through some other posts about documentation and it appears I had better decide if I want to try scale competition before building the model. That way I can have a good set of docs to build/modify/paint to. This is starting to get interesting.....

Also I would have to say the short list was the limited starting range. I enjoy watching any WWII planes. Especially multi-engined (C47, B-17, B-25, etc..) Don't worry I know that is a project for later..... Our field is grass, and a couple of reviews of the Stuka have indicated that the wheel pants limit the use on grass runways. I guess I should do some more soul searching for 'practical' as well as 'passionate' projects. Not sure now. Is there a simple WWII project/kit that would be better for flight of of grass? What about Retracts and grass? Have heard very mixed comments on that as well. Most of my practice flights will have to be off the local field.


Thanks to all for the suggestions.
