Don't worry Arch, I AM close to him. He can fly my V2 this season (or maybe one of my VF-3's if I get them ready soon). I remember the first time I flew a 2-meter ship (a Focus 1). I was flying a 40-size super Kaos Jr. in Sporstman. I had to move up to Intermediate the followng year (I placed 2nd in a contest with 7 or 8 people) so I was looking at a used 2-meter plane. One of the guys let me fly their Focus. What a difference! I bought that airplane. The problem is, now I'm spoiled. Everything else flies like cr@p!
