Thanks for the kind words and well wishes. Knee is pretty sore today. They numbed it up good at the hospital before cleaning / stitching which kept it numb for about 6-8 hours afterwards, but man - it's apparent that wore off today. [:'(] Taking some light pain killers but it's tough to walk on.

Looking forward to getting back to the field to fly and figure out a fool-proof method of firing up my plane and getting it on to the strip. I know it's not rocket science but yesterday hinted at me figuring out a better way. Thinking the ground hooks/bars/etc will be the way for me. My radio does not have a throttle restraint or idle down option. Figure if I hold the Tx with my left hand I can keep my thumb on the throttle holding it in the down position while I walk my plane out with my right hand on the fin. Ensuring safety = more fun.
