<<...been flying planks more than helis...>>

Me too. Started them in '87, helis in '92.

I had a brief foray into the bigger models (a 1/4 scale CAP 232/Saito 150), but it's for sale. I'm staying with the 40/60-size. The big ones are just too much hassle to store/transport. I plan on getting another SUV when I retire, but for now it is pretty tight under the bed cover of my S-10 pick-up! Besides, a good 55"-65" sport plank with a dependable four-stroke is more fun than the law should allow...<G>

I got a MA scale Jet Ranger fuselage kit for Xmas. That puppy is going to consume most of my modeling time this year, I think. But I'm already planning a scale plank; just not sure which one yet.
