Wow guys, thanks for all the good thoughts and great suggestions. I do appreciate the compliments, but really I'm just doing what I can to support someone and his family, who are supporting all of us. They and the thousands of families like them are the ones who deserve all the good will we can send.

Tonight will be a rough night for them, as he leaves at 0'dark hundred. I think at least a couple of days will need to pass before anyone feels like playing again. At that time, I will be there to pass along and hopefully implement many of the suggestions offered here.

I have Reflex XTR... I think I'll sit down and let him burn a few planes there. If he then decides he wants to do the real thing, I think the plane suggested by aeajr is the ticket. If he doesn't want to pursue flying further... well then we'll just need to find something else to pass the time.

Thanks again guys. I'll keep you posted.
