Default RE: Which Mag

No, that's what YOU have spun into it.

Did I not portray it in a genuine light? Did I fail to mention its shortcomings? Did I "gloss over" anything?

Yes, I sold it, and I explained why. Need I mention that I bought 2 OS 70s, 11 digital servos, and God knows how many extensions for that thing? Not to mention the little items like new gearwire and accessories. I'm not a rich man. I can't be laying out that kind of money on a regular basis. And BTW, I didn't even cover the cost of ONE engine when I sold it.

And no, I have not bought another. I did however recently buy a GP Seawind to replace the one I reviewed last year which died due to radio failure. Will I buy another P-38? Probably not. I rarely have time to fly my own planes anymore, and I have a few favorites already (And I shot my budget on the Seawind) - But it sure would be nice if I still had that P-38 ready at a moments notice.

I spend a lot of time here at RCU. A lot of members respect my opinions and advise. I'm not about to jeopardize that trust by lying to them.

If you don't want to believe me, there's nothing I can say to make you.
