Hello Frank
I have some really good friends, i took the c-160 to him tonight, it was funny to see that plane after watching it spin out of sight and expecting a pile of wood and there it sat of course in the center of the swamp. mud and muk, the worst part of it was getting myself out of the swamp, one step at a time, i took it to my friends home and i did not expect to work on it tonight, it is midnight and i just got home, all the cracks and scrapes are now gone and still some to go but he told me that thursday we will paint it, it is now so smooth and friday i willfly it again, i am going to build the phoenix by myself with my good friend there to give me support and to make sure it is done right, i have built many big sticks but when it comes to an expensive airplane and such a nice looking one i dont want to make mistakes but i also want to learn to build a nice plane buy myself without paying so much to have others do it for me.
