Thanks everyone for the kind words. My main instructor was AMA Hall of Fame Member the late Dave Robelen. He taught Suitcase and I not just how to fly but many things about model aviation. He was known for small indoor electrics but was equally at home flying gliders,pattern,sport,and gaint scale IMAC planes. If I can pass on just a small part of what I learned from him it will help the next guy.

Now I ned to get through the next week of our annual outage at work and finish my son's Dixie youth baseball season of Sat and Sun games. Then the rest of the summer will be free for flying.
