Already had a bought a used T6XAS Futaba transmiter have also been given 2 planes that have to be repaired and recovered will buy 2 more motors and flight packs over the winter as required to complete theses planes It was a great day. All ready have a instructor lined up for springand have joined one of the local clubs.

RE: Went to LHS today
RTW, I hope you enjoy it as much as I am after about six days` flying and about 18 flights over three weeks, in spite of a pretty bad crash a couple of days back. Not sure what happened, but it was trashed from the wing forward. I think maybe a stall and spin from on base and just turning final. I`ve spent about 8 hours rebuilding so far, with a couple more hours to go and it`ll be flying again.
Great hobby.

Before you open it see if you can trade that G2 Lite for the full G2 version.

RE: Went to LHS today
I built my own PC and FMS won't run on it for some reason. It's a P4 2.53 512k 533 FSB, Gigabyte board with Intel 845PE chip, Radeon 9700 PRO graphics, 512mb Corsair Xtreme DDR PC 2700 ram. It will run every game I've ever tried with all the bells and whistles on, but it won't run FMS. It also uses XP home, any ideas why it won't run it????

will do RTW. I know I don't have the lastest Catalyst but figured if it ain't broke don't fix it. Some times GPUs don't work as good with the new drivers as with the old ones.

RE: Went to LHS today
spend as much time as you can on g2 before you even go out to the field with your plane-its really good for teaching takeoff, turning in the air, and landing-the basics
