Barry,
Turns out my deadstick was caused by a missing magnet from the thrust washer, it would have been hard to fly without it and I doubt you or Angelo had one to lend me. I called yesterday and got no answer so I'll try again today so I can return the receiver and servo's you were gratious enough to lend me for the competition. Joe needs to get his bigger plane flying because his Staudacher was getting tossed around pretty good in the wind. It was a good learning experience but hard to compete with only two very short trim flights on a new plane and not having practiced since the mid air. We'll get are ducks in a row and hopefully be ready for Prado.
