Tell you Rolex next time I get a free weekend and couple hundred to blow on gas I headin to Knoxville for some help.
 
I've got a "stick build" kit of a P-38 with a 40" wingspan sitting here, and I'm itching to build it but I just have too many other things I have to finish up first.
I plan on going with twin brushless motors and electric retracts.
 
My buddy took his champ out for the first time yesterday and it actually surprised me. He crashed and crashed the thing. After about 4 or 5 crashes it broke a wing and the vertical stabilizer. Glued it back together with the foam safe CA glue and he was back out there flying in 10 minutes. This makes me want to get a airplane now because if that was a heli, he would have crashed and it already would have been time to order replacement parts.
 
I bought some ca foam safe but idiot left it out of my bag.
so I had some super glue sitting there anf decided to use it, I thought it would eat the foam but it didn't.
 
Called horizon about the wheel falling off.
sending me new landing gear, extra props and extra batteries.
can't beat that for customer service.

We don't use a home computer since we can't get interent out here in the sticks.

I use my phone for internet.
