edp,
I sure like the picture of your Tiporare. I was in the Navy from 66-70. Bought my first radio, a Futaba in Japan in 1969. I recently returned to RC after 25 years. Now I'm flying a Futaba FAAST 2.4ghz. Put in 5 flights this morning with clear blue skies, 65 degrees and wind at 5 mph right down the runway.

Best Regards
JC
