I wish that was true, actually it's the opposite, my wife prays that I crash my planes.

If you end up getting a new trailer you might still be able to use the old one to haul a full scale Pitts S1.

Thanks guys, I am working on the plane just about everyday, I got all three tanks, 2 - 50 OZ fuel and One 50 OZ smoke ready, most of my extensions are complete, canopy is glued ( thanks Rolling Harrier ), got my SWB 2 inch arms and started installing them, all servos have been installed except for throttle and choke, working on the rudder push pull system as we speak.
I found out from working on this plane that being that big, it's a lot harder and it takes a lot longer to get things done, a positive thing is that I am adjusting to the size and it's becoming normal to me however the 50% is looking smaller and smaller, motor will be installed a week from this coming Saturday as some of my friends will be coming over to help.
Pics will be taken as soon as I have something to show I promise.
