My dad and I went by Going Western this afternoon and picked up the last of the flying supplies. Bought some cables that plug into the receiver and transmitter to check voltage. Checked it with a standard volt meter. I'll check out the Hobby Town some time, but the place on Navy Road seems to have everything you could want. I just wish they were open until 7 in the evening instead of 5.

Got the plane "built" this evening. Trimmed everything up by sight. Rudder needed about 3 turns out on back clevis and the right aileron clevis needed about 5 turns out. Everything else looked good. Plane is now ready to go for the morning. Documentation was fairly good, but still had a few issues. You would think they would have gotten it perfected by now. However, it was amazing how fast and easy it is to get to the flying field. RTF is really just that.

Tried the flight sim on the laptop again with the IO Gear Serial to USB cable with the same results. Installed the software on one of the desktops in the house and went directly into the Com port and it works now. My dad flew for about 15-20 minutes and crash 5 times.

Hopefully, we don't crack it up this weekend.
