Thank you Primodus! I think there are a couple of clubs nearby (Indy area) I'll probably try to check them out when it warms up here (soon I hope). Also, as I'm sure you are more than aware of, the (AMA? is it?) is based in Muncie, IN a mere hour or so up the road. I've been collecting information on the Nexstar like crazy. I am really buzzed to get one and get going! Especially the Real Flight simulator software. The idea of quasi-learning to fly the plane before ever actually using the aircraft is great! I'm having to do one heck of a sell-job on the Mrs. to manage the purchase anyway! Can't be doing "auger-jobs" with it! Thanks much!
