Hi all

Thank you for all the good advice- especially the part about the PT-40 wing, that would have been a bummer of a mistake.

RedWing, I'm in the Kalamazoo area, but if you guys have a big yearly meet it's not too bad of a drive to get over there

Again, thanks to everyone who has replied (or who might reply!) for taking the time to offer your experience.

[EDIT]: Just wanted to add that I'm taking a look at simulators, at first I was a bit skeptical about how well they actually "simulate" the experience, but enough people here have sworn by them to warrant a look
