Langfire ... looks like we are all in the same boat. I returned after 20 years, I started it as a teenager and as usual you get side tracked. The changes in the hobby blew me away. I saw pictures of a man with his han reached out to a plane that was hanging nose up ... I was wondering what that was about? Is he launching it or retrieving it. Then there is this new phenomena called ARF and from Vietnam even (that is like my neighbour). A lot of changes for sure!

I had to add in about 4 oz-6 oz to balance the plane and will later on add weights to balance the wing, the plane is very lop sided now. Unfortunately, with a late night I was not able to get up early today to fly, will test her out tomorrow morning and hope the pipe really gives me more oooomph ...
