wahooo!
got plane and radio. My poor son: he'd best like to stick everthing together NOW, with ducttape, if we must and go fly.

Sigh.
I am still noodeling around with the FMS sim, on a keyboard. if anyone can tell me about their experience with a Tx cable to sim that they bought, let me know. Before I plunk down 50$ I want to know it works.
I did find some cool links to make one myself but I am little leery of firing up that ol' soldering iron just yet.
Still waiting for the AMA card...
Man it's freezing out here. I hail from Germany, where it's not warm in the winter. In a short 15 years I am a total weenie. How do you guys fly in the cold months?! from inside the car?
