Default RE: Tips for first plane build

Being in the army, storage can be a problem and hanger rash is a killer. SPADs may be your way to go, they take a beating but are easy to repair. Anyone that has ever been in knows you can't just store your toys on top of your locker without someone with stripes on there sleves saying something about it to you. Electric power may also be something to give some thought to, I can hear my old Sg. Majors voice running through my head now if he would have spotted my stash of glow fuel next to my locker. A very understanding man when he was sober with a voice like an angle. As a computer geek have you ever given any thought to sitting in the chair close to a pilot operating the weapons in a chopper??
By the time I found out about that job I was too short to give it any thought, today I keep thinking it would have been worth it to stay in a bit longer to do something like that. With my luck I would have signed the papers and they would have stuck me in an open door with an M-60.
