Thanks guys,

I'm all relaxed and chilled, a nights rest and a little perspective has done wonders. The engine and plane are both paid for, and both will ship out on Monday, so it all worked out. It is intresting that such a small segment of the overall hobby as is pattern, can be at the same time, very satisfying and very frustrating. With the jets and giant scale stuff i've been doing for the last decade, i've admitedly, become kinda spoiled, the stuff is so easy to get, theirs never any waiting, just make a call and it happens. Your right, pattern stuff is a little different. I'll adjust to it ok, i'll just need to practice up on my patients a bit

Thanks for everything guys!
