Thank you to all of the veterans out there with all of the words of wisdom. When I "got the itch" I often came to the RC Universe web site to sooth the agony of having to wait to buy while convincing my wife that this is a good investment.
I flew successfully my airplane this weekend past and actually did not do any severe damage. Took the airplane out for 3 more successful flights today. I've attached photo's of the maiden flight...The first picture was a before in case the after was of a pile of kindling.
