should I star with an electric model? I would really love to build my own "bird" and there is nothing that i could not build. Has anyone ever tried to build a skeleton out of brake lines? I have a really extensive building experience with cars...chopping, recessing firewalls, making my own floor pans, body panels, etc., doing frame modifications, rebuilding engines, anything you can imagine with custom car building. There has always been the hated time associated with my "mistress" when working on projects. Should I start with a smaller wingspan or certain model? I could give lessons on custom car building, but I am a bit bewildered in this new arena.
