Thanks for the quick reply Fastsky ! This will be my second attempt with the Decathlon. The first one was the Seagull version which had no tube. It really beat me down trying to take off gently.... I had to warn everyone that I was on the runway ! LOL ! It had a mind of it's own ! I wound up selling it at Perry. I would have given the buyer $5 bucks to take it off my hands ! Hope I can do better with this one.....[X(]
