Sandbagger Kevin keeps saying I have no power then at the last second before the finish he blows by like the rest of us are standing still. It was a lot of fun. Funny how we can land 35 and 40% planes but had a hell of a time landing a trainer.

Hey Brad, They replaced all 8 of my servos with new 8611a's. They also returned 2 of my old ones saying they were in good shape. They didn't return the 8411. I will give you one of my servos in place of that one if you are all right with a 8611a?

So Far: Smart Fly-- fixed everything for free.

Horrizon-- replaced all my servos and fixed the rest of the gear for free.

Desert Aircraft-- charged me for a new ignition. $200.00

Not to bad!!!!

Im going to try to get out real early tomorrow and get a few flights in,the wife wants to go on the boat again Sunday. Changing the radio gear out is not going to be a lot of fun, then having to reprogram with your radio . The shop is done Now I have to figure out how I want to set it up.

Don't forget room for the trailer to haul the airplane stuff in.

It was an 8611 that I had just not an 8611a it's a spare so any will work fine.
I sold the YAK just have to take it to Snohomish so it's new 8711's all around.
Jerry called last night he's not going to Snohomish. So Kevin when you guy's get there save me a spot for an easy up I'll get there late Friday or not till Saturday morning. I just found out Susan's brother lives 30 min from the field so we are staying with him.
