Flying a 400 lb airplane is one thing......hoovering a 99 lb airplane for the whole flight is another....LOL

I did, the landing gear is on the plane and my butt hurts, what's left to do is install the motor, receivers and Powerbox, everything else is done.

Elie, who are these experts you speak of? Jim, Bob and I were planning to come over to watch you build, but decide to go to Platinum Plus East this weekend (they serve beer and have naked chicks there....not to worry, we will send you some pics to keep you motivated). Let us know how your 'experts' make out with the plane
