Hi Dean....

If you ever do decide to get into RC...just remember...you don't start off with a Spitfire...Warbirds have heavy wing loading, and are not designed as trainers.. :D

And yes, Joe, is a fantastic flier, and especially when you consider he was only 17 years old when the video was taken, and had only been flying two years....

As to the guitar sound, sorry, I can't take credit for it, as I was the lead singer/rhythm guitarist. The gentleman that played lead for us played one of the "distressed" custom shop strats, (and very well if I do say so myself... :D), I only wish I could play as well as he does.... If you would like to hear some more, check out the web site for my old band (now defunct) at DOM-band.com. Click on the "Lend us an ear" page.

On there, you will find "China Grove", "Black Magic Woman" and Hush.... One of the guys that I fly with has been the sax player for the Doobie Bros. for quite a while now, and I met him a few years ago, but hadn't seen him during the time my band was playing, When I saw him at the field, I gave him a demo cd of the band....I was quite happy, when he said we "nailed" "China Grove....of course he may have said it just to make me feel good.... :D

Actually, not so little....89" wingspan, at about 19.5 pounds....the same as the orange one in the picture I posted....it is just another available color scheme... :D

As to the economy...all I can say is both my wife and I got raises in our Social Security this year...:d

And Glad I was able to help...I had a bit of a learning curve myself, and a lot of the guys on the original forum helped me out, so, I just tried to "pay it forward"...

And last but not least.. A "Whole lotta Love" for you and yours too....:D :D :D

89" is not 25' is all I am sayin... I don't know much about planes. Glad you got your raise, I am eating PB&J but I like PB&J so it's cool. :)

Rations are good for the soul. 8-)
