Forsite, know them well....sometime when you are on lunch or something, pop downtown and say hi. I hang out at Computer Professionals, ask Terri, she'll tell you where we are. Do you have a US 40+ kit? You have all the pieces left?

I know I know I know....but since when has this hobby been about logic Actually since when have any of my hobbies been about logic. My wife tells me that I only have one hobby, it's called "Turning Money Into Noise". I think I should have shirts made up or something.

I know I am a bit over my head with this airplane, but I think that with a bit more experience and some better judgement (almost nobody else was flying in the wind) I will be OK. When I saw things getting out of shape, my brain locked up, actually I think I forgot to hit my idle-down and that's why I had trouble getting the thing on the ground in the first place. I'm learing that complexity is not a good thing for a newbie. I should just concentrate on getting the engine to idle down really well rather than worry about figuring out all the funky features on my radio.

As far as wing bolts go, I agree that they raise the bar in terms of probable damage in a mishap such as mine, but I can't think of an plane that has runner band secured wings that I can learn aerobatics with, and that I like the looks of. Athough, on reflection, even SPADS are looking good at this point!
