My kind of guy....."I HATE WOOD"
I have a plane standing in the corner that needs some repair now for about 6 months. Have built and rebuilt 3 or 4 helis in that time.
I'm a PC tech and if computers required sanding I don't know what'd I'd do with myself!
Helis remind me of PCs. Parts can only go in one way but you can tweak the "you know what" out of them. I LOVE TWEAKING! I make a terrible painter because I keep changing the small things so much that the end result always looks like mud, same with wood, no turning back once you cut or sand. But with PCs and Helis you can always "reset" back to default and start over till you get it perfect! No sanding required.
Balsa is also VERY fradgile.
My sig somthin' extra had a few twigs go through the right wing back in December and I'm now just finishing up the glueing and am ready to sand and cover. Shame 'cause that's a GREAT flying bird. I've been flying my Ultra Sport ARF and dreamin/researching/buyin/building/flying about helis sine then.
