RE: Next plane
greg,
thanks, but both of those planes/kits are to small for my tastes (48"and 44") and the 51 is a profile so i can see why they are inexspensive. i will stick with the larger planes.
the planes i linked to are both around 60 inch WS and will be able to fly in alot more wind then either of the kits you mention due to size and weight.
