Thanks Gray, I was thinking that an epoxy might be better to use. I have been thinking about retracts vs no retracts and I believe I have settled on non retractable landing gear. Anyone have any thoughts on this. I love the though of retracts but I dont want to bite off more then I can chew and there seems to be a fair amount of fiddling going on with retracts. Plus if I was going to do it, I would want to have opening and closing doors which my current radio system just doesnt have enough channels for. I suppose there is always more planes to build after...I think I may have just started something that cannot be stopped. Looks like rain tomorrow, my bike ride might be cancelled and building may have to replace it.

Ilikebipes, I found a flying field near where I live and there seems to be a couple of good instructors there. I checked and they have 2.4 ghz cables there so its definetly not going up without a buddybox. Seems easy enough to fly on the sim, but somehow its never quite the same as real life.
