Default Looking to buy first plane

LOL Yes, that would be big enough, they dont have it at the airport anymore do they? There may be problems getting permission to fly there.

There is no other place I know of in morgantown to fly. The Airstrip in bruceton/valley point is a great place to fly, paved runway, huge place to fly. It is a private airport where we have permission to fly, and you wont need an AMA membership to fly there, the field in masontown is consideribly smaller, and AMA is needed, there is 6 members, and the club has their good and bad points, like one plane in the air at a time, which is good, and bad... Rockville is a much better place to fly, and alot more fun, its about 20-30 from sabraton. Sunday is calling for heavy snow so no flying then, I will probably go up today for awhile since the weather is half decent.

Tools you will need to build.

CA Glue - Thin, Medium and Plus
Epoxy, 5 and 30 minute
Bar and Multi-Sanders and sandpaper
X-acto knives with a saw blade
Clamps are a must
Razor Blades
A good building surface ( fair warning, if you wife is like mine, DO NOT build on the ketchen table )

Covering Iron would be nice, I used a Clothes Iron on my first Trainer and it shows, covering iron was best investment I ever made. Also a hinge cutting tool, the Great Planes "slot machine" is a good choice, way better than using an xacto knife

screw drivers, pliers, etc.. cant think of anything else right now
