djlyon ,
he he he....That's almost too funny! I remember when I bought a GS G Shark and brought it to the field for the first time. I got the plane built and supposedly ready to fly at a swap meet. So I get the plane there and I left the TX on. So I break out my field charger and start to charge. After charging I forgot to bring my ail ext. So I steal one out of my other plane. Then I can get the G-38 to run at all, turns out I had the kill switch backwards. Ok, fix that and get the motor fired up but then it only runs for a few seconds at a time then quits. 2 hours later, after taking down and cleaning the carb at the field she is finally ready to go. I start her up and take off...

15 seconds later the horizontal flutters off and she comes a crashing down!

I was mad at the time but now I just look back and laugh. I guess she really didn’t want to fly and she proved it to me once and for all.

Like I have been saying all along, good luck with your plane and I hope all goes well.

Please keep us all posted on your progress.
