Hey Harry ... I just wanted to let you know how valuable your posts have been to me. I am a true novice to this whole flying thing, and never put one lick of thought as to the theory behind it. You have opened up my eyes, and made me start thinking about what the plane is doing, and really concentrating on flying, not just driving it around in circles. I have actually been cutting and pasting the discussions into a word document, and building a flight manual so to speak so that I have this information organized and easy to access for brushing up on stuff.

As for now, the brushing up I will be doing is on balsa, CA and sandpaper, and another fight with the covering iron. I already put a couple of hours in digging the mud out of my spinner and engine, and verifing that everything appears pretty much OK. We are going on holiday starting wednesday next week (off to Rhodes for 10 days) so I doubt I will be able to fly her again before we get back.

But again, I really want to thank you for the time you have taken to help me out. I am serious about coming down to see you one of these days. My family and I have not toured the cambridge area yet, and would love to see that neck of the woods.

Bo
