Gosh I can't hardly wait to maiden this thing!!!! I got to taxi her out on the driveway this afternoon and it seems that the tailwheel needs a little adjustment but nothing major. About three or four clicks to the right and it goes strait. I dont think this will be a major problem in the grass tho. Other than that, it seems she is ready to fly!

gjeffers....my girlfreind has been pretty supporting with my UCD project. Even more after the first one bit the dust. BUT........when I told her how much I had in the plane ALONE....she fliped smooth out! [sm=bananahead.gif] Now she thinks I am crazy. Oh well. Maybe I am. Heck I'm with her!!????!! (just kidding linda)

Hockey..... That price was with an almost new saito.72. It was in fact used. I picked it up for 150 bones. A new one is, what...200 somthin?

The people at my feild are pretty hash somtimes. Every once in a while I will forget my AMA card and hang my drivers license on it to be sure nobody else gets my channel. Every single time I do it, someone always bi**hes. Thats not the only thing they gripe about, they don't like us 3D'ers very much. They think that having some silly a** hovering airplane flying like a helicopter ought to be over on the heli pad. Now, how the heck are you supposed to do that? They cant see their pattern plane because ours is distracting them from their "competition practices". I think we are currently having a discussion thru the board about designated days the 3D guys can have the feild. I don't think it will go thru but hey, it's worth a try I guess. (sorry....I'm venting here)

Wish us luck!

Joe
