Been flying the slowstick for a month now. Wow! So much fun. Wish this had been available in 1992, when I first tried to learn how to fly. Great for teaching the whole orientation thing without spending hours repairing after every lesson.

Daughter loves bringing me sticks and rocks to strap under the wing-bands and "give a ride". She is 2, and mentions airplanes 5 or more times a day!!!

I've been spending my evenings working on my old glow trainer and sailplane. Whole new sense of relaxation because I don't have that feeling of, "If I don't get this fixed by the weekend, I will not have anything to fly!!" Things are going slower, but it is more fun because it feels less like work.

I was born for this hobby, and I knew it from age 9 (first time I saw that stupid gray hovercraft at Toys R Us - Oakland Michigan, 1978.) Tried to get started three times, but was overcome by frustration when I the crash/repair thing entered its 5th cycle. If any RC newbies google this post.......Get an easy, foam electric........have fun with it for a few months while you figure out what kind of flying you want to do. Above all....be thankful that you have the internet! (I had a set of Bertanicas when I was growing up...............Cool, I just coined the "5 miles up-hill" clich'e for Generation X :-)

Bahh... too many Miller Lights....I'm babbleing.

Best to Y'all,
Tom
