Thanks guys,,,, I do feel better now. I have had to do something to every new ARF or kit I've ever built as well. So hearing your advice in advance should make this the easiest build yet.
You want to know what I've been doing while I wait ? I've been converting anything I can get my hands on around here except my larger scale planes. I took a nitro P-38 and converted it to elec. I still wasn't feeling any better so I took an elec and converted it to nitro. And I got to tell you,,, this little Carl Goldberg Shock 3/D elec was going on the garage hall of shame with all the other GWS crap and a few trainers that survived the learning process. I tried 3 differant types of brushless motors, props,, weight, less weight,, etc , etc. And it still flew like a horse biscuit. So Sunday night as I was driving in from another city I got the idea to stick an OS.15-LA on it . This evening it got nice enough to maiden it . Wow !!! What a great little plane. It would do anything I wanted and probably more in the right hands.
Well,,,, I got to do something while I wait on my VF Edge. Right ?
