I know what you mean.....UT????? sometimes I wonder.......Yes ...I will find someone up here to help me out on first flight. I have actually spent much more time building and studying turbine aircraft. I am currently in the process of beginning a series of one on one training with Dave Schulman and am looking forward to that after Florida Jets. I have played around with electrics for some time too and actually bought this plane for my 10 yr old son . He has mastered the G3 but is ready for the real thing now. Dad doesn't know that much ...if you know what I mean.......and I'm constantly learning something new.....Yep...you are right about the Dentist. Been in practice for almost 19 years now.....wow.....I know the feeling everyone has about us.....I actually went back to school in Ohio and studied for my anesthesia permit and we incorporate that into our general practice. Has worked very nice for us and is truely a better service to the public....Bruce....again ...thanks a bunch for all the info......Stop by and see us if you are ever in the area Bruce......I'm guessing you have a LHS there? or maybe not...take care...

I work for FedEx. Aircraft avionics mechanic for @ 30 years now. 18 with FedEx.
57 and still have all but 1 original tooth. Not too bad I guess. No bar fights.
Did my school in Mich but lived in Texas for about 10 years before here.

Very well Bruce......Well, sounds like an interesting job ...years ago I flew full aircraft from a Cessna 150 to Piper Lance but schooling stopped all of that real fast......I have just developed an interest in RC for the last 4 years or so but have enjoyed it so far....bad days occur for everyone ...I suppose.....I actually have a builder in Winter Springs, FL that is doing some mods and the build for my baby boomerang ......Have not flown this but they say it is a wonderful turbine to fly.....uses a P60 by JetCat.....all balsa and this person modifies and strengthens the structure....Looking forward to buddy boxing with him on this nifty turbine.......I live way out in the country here in UC and have a ball with the electrics.....especially the P51's .......actually a fast little plane with the Lipolymer battery technology...lasts for about 10 to 12 min flight.....pulsating DC through a brushless engine have really revolutionized the hobby...Ok Bruce....let you go......I catch you later.....Pleasure to speak with you....

I flew full scale for quite a while until my medical went away. Just about every thing from C-150 and on up. Biggest was Convair 580 I got to drive a couple of times, never typed tho. FUN!

Later.
