Well I'm not exactly new... I started this thing about 3 years ago. I moved twice in that time, and each time I moved I had to box up the partially completed plane and then get around to unpacking it at the new place. I finally took it out again a few weeks ago hoping to finish in time to fly when the weather gets nice in a few weeks (I live on Long Island now).

Anyhow, I've built a few rubber powered tissue covered stick models and I have to say I like tissue a lot more than Monokote... I'm getting the hang of it now and I just want to get it finished with a simple color scheme so I can learn to fly!
