I haven't posted for a while so I thought I would see how many of you are still flying though the winter months and how it's going.

I just started flying this summer, 100% self taught, and it took most of the summer to get real comfortable with my tower trainer, then I upgraded to a twist3d with a magnum 70 4stroke. Now that I have some time on it I'm starting to move the CG back and increase the throws. Today I flew over a frozen lake which is nice because it's completely flat and I have a lot of room, and these little engines and props sure do work good in 35* weather. Wind made things interesting though, I had a nice 12-18mph wind that was knocking the plane all over the place, but I flew anyway. I have had the trainer up in that kind of wind, but with all the wing it has it's like flying an RC kite! It was fun, but I was glad when it was on the ground in one piece.

I think I'm ready to start building a kit, but it seems that there is so much less selection when it comes to kits. I really like scale acrobatic planes like the edge, caps, and extras, can anyone recommend one in a 60-90 size, the 40 size planes are just to small to see if you aren't flying pretty close.
