RC - as Pete keeps telling me "This is my 2nd year in the hobby - the year of many mistakes". I'm trying to get a handle on building, covering, controls, fuel systems, the electronics, engine / props, field gear - and the list goes on. Right now I'm focusing on 40 & an occasional 60 size just to simplify the various components. I have more dead stick landings than I do powered landings. Granted, very little damage but not real confidence inspiring for low level stuff !

I am beginning to appreciate both gas and electric power - cleaner, simpler, cheaper per flight. If I survive my 2nd year - who knows.

I look forward to the build party. It will give me a chance to learn so much and hopefully contribute something as well. Knowing how much space I need in my own basement to build 1 plane, how the heck are 6 guys building 120 size planes work it out?? Inquiring minds ...

I hope to get this SSE out to the field on Sunday. Need to hit Things with Wings tomorrow for some carb repair stuff 1st.
