Thanks guys. I'm really thankful for the new plane coming. I've got to work out of town for a few days this week; definitely don't have time to get the Decathlon ready for (a week from today!) my first competition, let alone get used to it's flight characteristics (as was just pointed out to me in the beginner's forum, it's only been a few weeks since I solo'd. I forget that sometimes)

I guess what I asked was a loaded question. I'm having a hard time keeping the plane straight, and it seems to just fly a little funny. Of course, it burns beautiful holes in the sky, but I don't think the plane is portraying my flying capabilities properly. I didn't know how much I could write-off to the plane being 'out of square', but from this post it sounds like quite a bit; that makes me feel better.

Maybe when the Decathlon's ready I'll take the Dolphin apart and try to square it up, and re-cover it. Or I could just buy a new plane and use all the gear from the Dolphin
"What's that? Did you say something about a Venus? No? Oh, funny, I thought I heard you say to ditch the Dolphin and buy a Venus. I must be hearing things."

Anyway I guess I'll fly the Dolphin as-is for this one.

Thanks guys.
