Thank you all for all the nice things you have said. I really appreciate it. Even after nice sleep to calm down, I still can't. I am sitting here writing this trying to figure out how I can sneak back out to the field for a couple more flights.

As far as the gasser goes, I think now is the perfect time. I can be like all other guys at my field who bring out there nice big shiny planes. They set them up, polish them all pretty. Then they spend the rest of their time their complaining about the wind, or that it is too sunny, or too overcast. After a couple hours they pack them back up and go home having never flown them. Actually I am just kidding. We do have quite a few really good pilots in my club, and even more really nice large planes, but from what I have seen they do generally get flown. I am also just kidding about actually getting one.

Now as far as the radio feel goes I was pretty prepared for that. I had actually already noticed it with the buddy box when compared to the sim controller. The sim controller is really sloppy compared to what my club uses for a Futaba box. They use an old Futaba 6 channel radio (which coincidentally was the exact radio I had bought when I got into this hobby the first time). The first time on the sticks I commented that I needed a new radio because I even though the buddy box was old I could tell it was better quality than my radio. Of course I won't be giving myself much time to get accustomed to my 4 channel radio. I bought a Futaba 9C from a fellow club member on Saturday, and as soon as I get it set and a trustworthy battery in it I will be switching. Just playing with it on the ground it feels nicer than the 4 channel, and even better than the buddy box.

So again, thanks to everyone! Ken, I will work on getting that smile removed
