Ashley,

well done! Congratulations on your fine build and finishing of your trainer. You will find flying a model airplane a real thrill!

You also have my son, 8, beat since he has been very busy building Lego wonders but has somehow stayed out of the basement too much. We are going to have to change that this year!

Give your dad a big hug and tell him other dad's here congratulate him too!

You should be flying very soon...

David.

Hi Ashley,

This is very cool! It looks like you and your brother are doing a great job on your airplane. I think you're going to have a lot of fun with it!

The muffler resembles a super tigre series.

Jim

Both muffler and engine are Super Tigre.

Karol

It is a Super Tigre 51. My dad wants to use the HB 61 PDP in his Super Kaos instead.

Most definitely!!!

Ashley is doing an outstanding job. But then... I am biased.

Brian

With the exception of a few servo grommets and a rx battery pack, we have finished our little project. I think Ashley has gotten a bit shy, so here are her pictures: (We will take better pics outside tomorrow!)

Man, that's neat. I love it. Keep it up, Ashley. You and your dad are going to have a wonderful time in a couple months.

I think I got my boy started a little early...he just turned three. I think he should be able to handle this 89" Decathlon. Ashley, welcome to RC. It is very important that we pass on the knowledge of building and flying planes. It warms my heart to see young people participating in building projects. Take it from someone who knows; you'll <u>never</u> get the same satisfaction from an ARF that you get from building your own plane and watching it take off, fly, and, hopefully, land successfully. It is one of the best ways to see hard work, long hours of sanding, and attention to detail pay off.

What a refreshing thread to look at first thing this morning! Great looking plane, Ashley. Happy flying!!

Soft landings,

Joe

Hey Brian,

You're absolutely correct. Ashley is did a terrific job. Then again, she had a great teacher..... So when are we going to get a flight report?????

David

Fantastic job kiddo! This is what any hobby is about, doing something that captures the mind, you can learn and have fun too. I see this and it gives me hope that the future of model airplanes will not be limited to just ARF's, building is a great way to teach the core of how it works and how to make something that you can call yours.

thank you very much i worked very hard and I am really excited to fly it.

Ashley Noel

Great job there Ashley and I am very sure it will give you both many happy times flying your beautiful creation. As a dad I can relate to the amount of pleasure that your dad must have gotten while doing this project with you, and it gives me much hope that the art of model building and the desire to is very much alive and well even, though the hobby is now being swamped with so many RTF models.

Nothing gives a greater all around feeling of accomplishment than flying something that you helped build, and from all appearances you did a fantastic job. Best of luck when the maiden flight time comes around.

Karol

Very nice job Ashley! It even has purple fuel line! You and your dad are going to have a lot of fun with that airplane!

Great Job!!!. Love the<span style="font-size: larger"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"> A</span></span> on the tail. Have fun flying that thing!

Howdy Ashley, you are a luck gal to have a Dad who is also wanting to see you follow his Hobby. Building and or flying can be a life long friend that will enrich both of your lives, you'rs and your Dad's. Wished we could see more of this in the hobby. PS: It is OK to stick you tongue out while working. Helps to think!

Thats a nice looking bird, keep us posted on how she flies. Oh yea, I like the A on the tail too.<br type="_moz" />

Thank you for the post. When I saw the A after I put it on, I thought it was really neat and I loved it. My dad and I are going flying soon, hopefully my airplane will work and I will not crash it. That won't be good if I crash!


Ashley.<br type="_moz" />

You will do fine. Just Fly the plane and
remember to breath.

Bob

Miss Ashley,
Let me add my 2 cents worth of welcome, to RCU and to the hobby. I'm an Ol' Timer (63) and I started out with plastic kits and moved into U-Control when I was 12 or so. I built several planes over the years and then Life Got In the Way. I've only gotten into RC since my stroke and I can't fly... yet. I certainly admire you (and your Daddy) for getting into such a marvelous hobby. There's SO MUCH you can learn, in the work involved and the flying. This is an excellent "field" to get into and I'm very happy to see someone so young here.
Congrats!
RD

Ashley, let us all know when you fly. We will all be rooting for you. Your daddy is a lucky man.

Lets Kick this Thread back to the Front page.. 

Ashley, any Flight Reports as of yet??

Patiently waiting...

Have fun flying your Masterpiece... 

Craig..

P.S. Yes, I also build with my tongue sticking out at times!!  I think its a Requisite for Building!!  

Today I got my AMAcard and my dad and I want to go flying this weekend. We might have pics then when I fly my airplane i am so happy that my airplane AMA card is here!

Ashley
