Well, don't worry - I'm still a ways from it. I've been trying my hand at scale competition and am trying to work my way up the ladder. 2 years ago was Fun Scale Novice (placed 5th a the NATS), last year was Fun Scale Advanced (4th at the NATS) and this year I'll try my hand at Sportsman with a Top Flite Stinson SR-9. After that comes Expert with an Embraier Tucano, then Designer with the Pancake.

Now providing I actually do everything I just stated :-), I'm a couple years away at best.

When you do your Pancake, shoot me a picture or two. I'd be very interested in how it comes out, and what you use.
