Welll: Cherish the moment and your parents.
I had to shovel cow sh*t out of barns for
a whole summer to get anough money to
buy my first plane. The only thing my
parents done was drop me off at the instructors
house for training lessions. I thought my parents
was wonderful for helping me that much.

RE: Im Getting A plane!!!!!!!
Hehe Jac_GT you're so lucky...
I had talked to my parents for 2 years to get me a plane. They never got one for me. In 2003 I got $333 at a math competition. Even then my parents wouldn't let me use that money to buy a plane. Finally in Oct/Nov of 2003 we went to the LHS and picked up a plane. I have to thank my parents for tossing in $20 / month for accessories like glue, spare wood, glow plug, prop, nuts + bolts, and a drill.
Just be careful not to get dents in it! I had dents in my plane just from light pressure to remove some CA with debonder.[:@] And try not to get glue on it.. CA is hard to get off, Epoxy is near impossible.
PS Don't do CA gluing on newspaper. It sticks and rips. Now I have a chunk of newspaper on my plane. At least the piece wasn't an advertisement.
But my parents are still nice. My dad helped me put the plane together.

RE: Im Getting A plane!!!!!!!
hmm...my first plane was....welll...pt60.It still is cuz it aint finished...lol Instead i built me a spad,worth 22 $ @ home depot LOL Plus 180$ radio and 80$ engine....Didn't have to ask my parents for nothing though.... lol still can't fly worth a dang....
Now,to be serios,my trainer still isnt finished.Its a pt60.Iam in a middle of covering job,although already took out my spad for some flights.Instructor sure made it look so easy,even though plane(spad) wasn't balanced lateraly and had a crappy landing gear and teal heavy.I saw it fly though,now i can spend a couple extra $ to get my radio on/off switch.Now have to plug the bat in and out ..well,i dont really bother cuz its 1400 ma/h. Engine runs just fine though...radio batarey holding up..Just need to finish landing gear and get rid of the weight @ the teal.
Good luck ,fellow beginners.
