Thanks for the advice guys. I guess I will pay extra attention and reinforce properly all around the tail parts to be safe.

Not confident on my flying skills I had ordered an ARF version of the Alpha 60, you know for spares...() after all sooner or later I know I will crash by beloved new plane.

Anyways the point is that I also ordered the electric conversion that Hobby-Lobby recommends ( http://www.hobby-lobby.com/g2e-h9alpha60.htm ).

I can't wait to compare how both planes will behave to each other. One thing I know...the electric one will be less messy...man those glow engines do they spill oil all over or what??!! [>:]...messes up my new Alpha!
