Barry, I think flying these type of planes is living on the edge. Flying around doing aerobatics isn't easy compared to just flying around doing boring type flying. I mean, I could get my 4* up in the air and just putt around but I wouldn't have fun with it. Doing inverted flat spins, hovering low to the ground, doing low level inverted passes like Gjeffers, [X(][X(] MAN!!! That's living on the edge. Gets my blood pumping just thinking about it.......[8D]

To me, the hardest part of crashing is rebuilding or building another plane. They may call them ARF's but they aren't anywhere near "almost ready to fly". The other hard part about crashing is feeling like a duffus at the field because I crashed. [:-] The money part is inconsiquential...........[:-]
