Thanks FlyerBry, It's not exactly what I wanted, I want the Venture! But the reality is once I'm back to work it will just never get built. If he'd have had another run of kits ready in the next couple of weeks I would have had the time to build it. I'm scheduled to be back Dec 19th if everything goes right with physical therapy, so I've just got a month & a half or so & then it's back to driving truck 70-80 hrs a week. But as you said, it looks like it might be a viable alternative. I could still get the 4* .60, but I really like the detachable wings & stabs as well as the fact that it's a larger plane with a cowl. That's one of the biggest problems I have learning to fly is seeing the orientation of the plane correctly at a safe altitude. I tend to want to fly lower then I'm ready to so I can see it better. My other main obstacle is developing a softer touch on the sticks, they say I look like I'm stirring fudge when I fly! We still have a week or so before the $$$ for this project comes in so I'll wait & see if anyone else has any opinions on it too. Thank you for yours! I do appreciate it.
