RE: New Piolot in need of advice.
Missleman,
Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I was looking at the manufacturers website and was studying the specs closely and that was the first thing I noticed. I never really planned on putting the Enya 46 on the Decath. It will stay with the trainer.
John,
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I did exactly what you are talking about. I pulled the tank hatch off and the first thing I noticed was the dark gray or black foam that was around the tank has turned into this mushy, powdery, stuff and I know it had to go. I pulled the tank and the first thing that happened was the line to the clunker broke off. I knew then I would need a new tank. Just one more thing to add to my Tower Hobbies list of goodies!
About the Decath, I think I could resist the temptation and I may pick it up and let it sit a while. I don't have an engine or radio gear for it yet anyway. I certainly won't be pulling the gear from the trainer. The club that I will be re-joining has a new pilot training program. If it survives my learning process, It might be nice to keep the trainer together and use it for that program when I get "good enough" to help others learn to fly.
