RE: Trouble at the LHS
roltech,
No, I didn't buy this plane. I am not a good enough r/c pilot to fly warbirds yet. I just would choose that particular plane (in berta's hypothetical situation) because it is such a nice looking ARF. My next few planes will be kits. I enjoy building and tinkering as much as I enjoy flying.
BTW, yes, I do belong to a club; just joined in January. I am currently flying a Goldberg Tiger II. I only stepped up from my trainer a few weeks ago.
