Well a compromise was reached. The plane spent the night in the basement and I told her that if anything happened to it I would spank her. Her reply was she might just have to step on it herself. Life is good. I think I forgot to mention my wife is my caller , plane supplier(she got me the genesis for christmas) and travel companion for contests. I just hope the new protocal for plane damage includes damage at the hotel at a contest except we might be a little late getting to the field on sunday mornings. Jim
