Congrats on your first flight. I'm still washing out my shorts after mine - and that was last year!!
Yes, but you probably have a little more tied up in yours... I bought the plane used, so I don't have a real appreciation for labor of love required to get it from a box of sticks to the finished product... I might have $2K total tied up in it... about 1/4 of some of my other planes. This one is just a weekend flyer, so I haven't spent a ton of time trying to get it perfect. Maybe the next Waco! Those AMR planes sure do look nice, but I think they're a pretty daunting task for a first build.
I was really suprized at how nicely this plane floated to a landing.. at 30 pounds with a lot of drag, I expected to have to land it pretty hot... not necessary at all.
