Well, you people went and done it. Not only did my interest in RC get re-ignited after reading posts to the various forums on this board (beginner's in particular), RCKen got me interested in building my first plane. I now have a brand new box, an LT-40, still in the wrapper, sitting in my living room while my wife and I discuss where the build will take place. I have found and contacted a local RC Flying club and will start training once the weather improves. I love to build things, so I figured that building my plane was a natural extension of that. My local club informed me that no one else in the club builds, so my help would have to come from elsewhere, namely in these forums.

I have been inspired by the many successes as well as the failures I have read about. The main thing was the tenacity of the average RC'er. Even after seeing the state of some of the crashes and other problems, most brush themselves off and dig in and either rebuild or start a new one. I love that kind of group, and want to be a part of it.

So, I'll let you know when I manage to get a space cleared and start building...
