Nice work Roger

I don't know what happened, I was typing a reply and suddenly it vanished.

Anyway, I have been following the other threads as well. Seems to be a lot of alterations and modifications on this plane. I have been building models for over 35 years and lately I seem to be attracted more to the ARF's. I am getting more compulsive (needing to have every new plane that comes out). I am not kidding. I have bought and built (or plan to build) 8 new planes since July. I'm even working on a scratch built 14 foot wing span Trainer.

I am enjoying the ARF's because, quite frankly, I just don't seem to enjoy the time consuming task of setting and glueing all those darn little ribs and formers and gussets and fillets and so one. I am however a little concerned about how the manufacturer did it. What the heck is under that beautiful covering job?

Like I said this is my first venture into Gas and giant scale. It looks like I'll be pushing $2k on this project and want to get it right. There is a lot to learn when it comes to this giant stuff! And why does it have to cost so much? I mean really! $115 for a servo! Does it really cost anywhere near $75 extra to become digital? Talk about praying on the addictions of a few.

What were those guys using to fly those old quarter scale planes 25 years ago? Before anyone had heard of digital. I'm more of a scale and pattern flyer anyways, all out 3D doesn't appeal to me. If I was that interested in hovering around, I would build that helicopter I've got sitting in the box on the shelf.

Thanks to the guys here on RCU for all the help.
