Well I started on my new Senior Telemaster ARF last night. Two friends and I ordered them on Hobby Lobby's sale at $160. Very nice looking plane. My friend Marc and I like to fly the beaches in the off season so a G23 will be installed in the nose. With a 3200mah battery and a 1/2 gallon of gas, well you get the idea! Yes I am doubling the firewall and adding stiffeners to the air frame. I also plan on setting up floats. The guys at the marina where I keep my boat love it when I bring the Seamaster down and fly it. This should really get them going! I will be setting up flapperons too. All in all, I think this should turn out to be a real nice all around plane. Oh, and yes I'm installing a tow hook for sailplanes.

Just be sure to program in some crow, so you can land it with the engine still running. <G>
