Default RE: skyward 40

Hello; My first airplane was a Skyward in '91. I didin't know anyone around here who could fly so I had to teach myself with it. I got in one good flight, not the prettiest landing, but I got it down unharmed. The second flight I hit a curb when I didn't quite get it up high enough to clear it. I fixed that plane many times after that, mostly by putting the broken parts together and saturating the whole mess with CA. As the Skyward was an ARF, there were no plans with it. Slyward went out of business before I bought mine, so don't expect much help from them. I still have the fuselage around here somewhere, I wouldn't use it though since it's been fixed so many times it's too heavy now. But it was a good beginner plane.
