Get it and have at it. It wont cost a lot of money, and this way you'll know if it was a real urge or just a stupid passing fancy.

Do remember, you've had back problems. Standing in one place and spinning around may not be such a good idea. When you get "Up" on c/l no big deal, you can sit down and just fly eights if your back acts up, but until you can do that if the invisible man sticks his knife in you the plane could be a victim as well as you.

We have one fellow in our club who always takes a chair along when he goes to fly, sits down holding he transmitter, and has a great time. We rag him about it, of course, but it's not serious.

There are also many c/l fliers who are in wheelchairs, and they do very well. John McIntire (spelling?) is one, and he's on RCU.

A lot of gab. Just get the plane and have fun.

Bill.
