Hey Bruce, I've seen Ryan fly the snot out of them, but he could fly a turd with wings and make it look good. At Taylor this year he was flying one with a DA85 in it, flew it very nicely. He had smoke system in it so if you took that out it would probably fly that much better.

Thanks Dave. FuPuck told me the same thing. Rich Mowery is going to be at Roxana tomorrow so I'm going to go down and watch him and he will have one in the box for me to take home if I like it. I plan on putting a 100 in it.

Chris,
Do you know if they sell short ant set up for standard electric plane receivers.
such as, E-flight, Hitec, Berg. I met a gentleman at Mark twain hobby SAT. that knows how to built a short Ant. setup using and this may not be correct a 400 watt coil and 3" of wire.
He seems to be very sharp his name was BillGill from St. Louis.
Rich,

Nice getting together Bruce hope you had a safe trip back home.
Rich M.

Is it done yet Bruce?

Rich. Not sure I would trust the loaded antenna unless it has been tested and true. There are a couple people like Deans and Revolution that make whip antennas or just step up to 2.4.

Naw. I'm old and need help with everything!

I can't believe everything that is allready done!

This is the first ARF I have ever had without a wrinkle or bubble in the covering and the paint without a blemish.

Thanks Rich. Enjoyed talking to you. I can't believe all those things you said about Fick! Just kiddin' Fick. He didn't say anything.

Thanks Chris. I'm leaving it in the box until I have the bench cleaned off and have all the equipment ready so I don't damage it. I'm like a frickin' bull in a china shop!

I still have it Fick. A guy told me he wanted it but backed out. Its a 35% JTec Extra 330 in the bones. It has some things to finish before covering but not much.
