Japanflyer, its me dude, not redback with the planes that need to be shipped, but either way thanks for you advice. I'm starting to go for the idea of building a new plane all together.. give me something to do over the christmas break from work! I ran it past the wife to and see didnt object, which is as good to a yes as i can get!! So i think that is the way i'll be going.

As for the redbacks? geezus guys, they're not that big and lets face it, there is alot more to worried about than them in australia, tiger snakes, king brown snakes, lotsa snakes. that and your plane going dead stick and drifting of the club car park....that had the heart going let me tell you

JapanFlyer, as to where i live in australia... well were havent i lived. I grew up in the west, but joined the air force 3 years ago and so far have traveled to 5 of the six states. I'm currently in Canberra, but on my way to Adelaide in Jan.

Thanks all for the advice..

Anthony.
