Thanks for the compliments!! Yes it is a union jack on the tail, i'm a brit now living in canada so it's justified

sorry to hear of your misfortune jim, i can't think how it must feel to lose it on the first day of flying it, sure youll be up and flying again in no time. At least in Tx you must be able to fly year round, i'm gonna be lucky if i get more than a couple of flights in here in Montreal before it gets too cold and snow puts an end to things till next april! (hey anyone know a snow ski mod for the LT-40

). Anyway already thinking of my next build project to see me through the winter!
Thanks all.
