Yes, it was, Mike. And I thank you for introducing me (us all) to the Protege. A definite keeper and a great overall plane for just having a fun RC flying day.

I may want to convert it to a tail dragger. That nose-wheel is a pain in the butt...

And, if anyone out there is flying on grass, or a bumpy runway like I am, consider using 3.5 inch light-weight Dubro wheels. They definitely make things better on bumpy grass, and don't add any weight.
