Welcome to the CLUB. show me a model builder, scratch, kit, arf who hasn't SCREWED UP more than once. Ive had a kit go bad, give it to a buddy and he finished in a weekend, boy did fly super. it takes lots of practice. look for someone to sit with you and both have a ROOT BEER, while dicussing the situation. been at the miserable--more than once-- model airplane hobby. since middle 1930's. it sure made my life as a aerospce engineeer/designer a heck of a lot easier. one thing I know for sure-- I am a better model builder than a Computor user. dick stamm
