Hello All,

I suppose I'm getting a bit ahead of myself asking these questions but what the hell.

1) To begin with, how do you guys deal with limited space in where to keep your aircraft? I have a condo and currently am keeping my first plane in there on the bed but this won't cut it if I add another plane down the road....and possibly more than that! My current plane is a .40 size trainer mind you and I would love to move up to a bigger size with more experience. Do you hang the wings on the wall and keep the fuselage on the floor? I have two cats and their curiosity with ANYTHING they can jump on can be a bit disastrous.

2) Where is a good place to purchase one of these aircraft "benches" that people use to work on their aircraft and how much would one run me?

3) Would would be a good beginning ARF to construct, installing the engine and so on? My trainer came practically put together but most ARF's do require SOME construction. I would like to find something that is relatively a challenge but not so difficult the first time out that I don't enjoy the process. On a side note...I would love to eventually put together a plane such as the ARF Stearman bi-planes from Great Planes but that might be a bit much first time out. Obviously some solid flying skills will also need to be established for such an aircraft as well. That particular plane has special meaning to myself that goes back to when I was a kid...

4) Lastly, have you guys out there ever done a custom graphic job on your planes and are there companies that do so? I work as a video editor and work some with photoshop and illustrator. I was curious to what you guys might have done.

Thanks in advance...the advice I get here is great.

Brad
