Hey Jon. No you didn't miss the story. I just was saying how a first time flight of my trainer plane was mid aired by the guy teaching me how to fly. He took off and let me fly it for about 9 minutes. He took over to show me an emilmen (sp?) and was going to land. As soon as he took over a plane went down the right side. It even sheared the muffler off. He bought me a new plane. Oh well what can you do. Good think I didn't let the first flight discourage me. Oh yeah that brown clump on the front of the plane is my engine. I had to dig it out of the ground.

I agree the ARF landing gear wires are so dang soft. I don't know what they are thinking about when they put these wires on. I built my own on my trainer. I haven't messed with them on this yet. As of right now I have hit the runway with a nice soft landing so we shall see how that works out here tomorrow or Monday. If I can get my plane back together in time. I took it apart and i am getting ready to put my voltwatch in the cockpit and probably fix the girly pilots that are in the plane. I bought this [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EXRA500]VOLT METER[/link] to install. I thought it would eaister to put into the cockpit and looking looking like a part of it. Hopefully.
