well, the spit is built, just need to know about the servo setup. seems like everything went ok. i have ten official , and many more unofficial years as an auto tech. so, this wasnt a hard task for me. i understand the mechanics of building, just not flying. thats why it'll sit on a shelf tell im ready to handle it. it was just too pretty to pass up! i have always loved war birds and bombers. thanks for all the advice jaka, i take everything i get on here to heart. i know it will be a couple of years till i fly anything but trainers and so far, ive had a really good time with everything i have done.
