Thanks Mike... I didn't do anything myself except provide the equipment, Dad did the work. I am okay on the electric set up.. this will be the fifth electric pattern ship I've had... I have an idea what I'm going to power it with, just not quite ready to say what it will be without a little testing... all else fails, I'll go back to the tried and true. I can say that it will be a little on the heavy side, the equipment not the plane, but VERY affordable. If it doesn't work... well then it will be slightly lighter and a little less affordable.

Should be fun... by the way, my last plane was an E-Pinnacle, before that a Genesis... Focus, Impact, Eclipse... Still have a few left, a few are with new owners, others are in landfills...

I actually had two of the eight E-Pinnacles made at one point, sold one that was built (not by me) and the other that was still in kit form... the best airplane I have ever flown by far (haven't flown yours yet BTW)... just couldn't justify keeping the planes. I originally planned on flying Masters last year at the Nats, but a job change made that a no-go... that's why I had two of them. Anyway, both are with new owners, all that are left are the Genesis (flew like cr@p at first... now I like it quite a bit) and Eclipse (nice flying plane, outdated though, but kept for sentimental reasons).

Anyway, once the weather turns, and the pieces are delivered from the brown airplane delivery truck, the Black Magic will fly... should be fun, looking forward to it.
