Hi Manuel,

I just finish building my new plane in my hotel room ;-))
I am now looking for a place to testfly it.
Is it possible to share the place where you are training to night?
Thank you,

Hey Manuel!

It's good to know that the planes finally arrived well after all the "logistic troubles". The hard part it's done, now comes the easy part!!!

Let me know how the planes feel at that altitude, in your practice here in Mexico at 8600 ft asl they seem to be ok, but please, be careful because as I say to you: "ni como ayudarte"

I wish I could be there *sigh* but thanks to the technology and the terrific job that Flying Giants people are doing to bring all of us the live coverage of the ETOC, at least my Dad and I are going to cheer you up thru the web.

Give my bests to Andrew, Mark and Jason despite they don't know me, I admire the way they fly.

Echale ganas y diviertete como enano!
y si... QUE VIVA MEXICO!!!
