Thanks, all, for the help! I will wait to do any more adjustments until the first time out to the field with an instructor.

Not too worried about the engine being undersized. There is a pretty good review out there on the web, can't remember exactly where, but it did not say anything about being underpowered. Since it is a RTF plane, it does not really matter anyway, what is installed is what you get. I would rather not spend more money on another engine right now. Pygmy, I will let you know although it may be a few weeks before we are flying. Flybuy, where is the "wing saddle"? Just curious, I understand your comment about adjusting trim to compensate, but I am not familiar with the term "wing saddle".

Thanks, Kevlar! I am up in Westerville, and will be flying with the club that meets up at Alum Creek (Westerville Model Aeronautics Association). That is where I hope to find an instructor. Do you ever get up there?

I just discovered that the JR radio is only compatible with other JR boxes for training. On balance, I hope that the benefits of a computer radio was worth it, and that there is a compatable box at the field. If not, I will just have to buy a compatable buddy box.

In the mean time I am building a field box, getting my fueling and starting accesories together, and talking with my very excited son about when he can start flying. Looking forward to starting soon!

Thanks again!
