Hi Forum,

I have a seagull Arising Star trainer, with an irvine 46 at the nose, great reliable combination.

In my impatient mindset throught the wet and windy winter months in the UK, i got myself a Seagull Decathlon (still in the box!!)
My club flies form a grassed field with a mown strip, does the ground handling seem better of grass? Also, a new plane = a new engine, which 2 stroke would you recommed? looking towards an OS46FX ( or slightlty bigger) at the moment, any thoughts???

Many of the USA clubs seem to have paved runways, which seem to be causing problems, but be thankful you have them, a friend of mine came into land last week, got his main gear stuck in mud on the srip and tore it off the fuse (along with a large section of fues come to think!!)

Cheers
