F242, Im sure he would. He is bored out of his mind going through Pro-Pilot training and he is pretty stagnant right now. Thanks for the compliments. Nick

Nice job. I flew one in our club a few weeks ago (land version). That one had a 61FX on it and I personally thought that it was too much power. I bet the Saito will be perfect.
