Default Re: DA 170 -any info?

John,

I have a 150...brand new in the box...I probably should have waited...but what the heck...Im still getting a 170...Hopefully that will get me back in the spirit of things. I have been burned out of flying the giant scale stuff for the last few weeks. I guess mainly because I have not been able to due to travel and rain...Dont think I have gone this long without flying one of the big ones..and I dont really miss it...kind of strange!!!

Yeah, it's easy to get burned out. That's bad because that is when you tend to become complacent and lose your concentration and before you know it - splat! Better to take time off and regroup than to try and push it!

I know what you mean, I have been out of town for the last 5 weeks and have been flying electrics since Joe Nall with a big Krill sitting around since then waiting for the 170. I am sick of the little stuff and itching to go big again.

Maybe we will see you Saturday. I hope to see Mike's big Ultimate fly with that other 170 in it.

Hey Nick, Lucky 8-ball was correct the mightly UPS tried to deliver my engine today but both my wife and I were at work. She will be home all day on Tuesday, however, when they are coming back.

Did Lucky 8-ball have to say if they found anything wrong with the ignition?

Thanks again.

Bobby
