We all make mistakes in all kinds of ways, but the man who can claim that he never says the wrong thing can consider himself perfect, for if he can control his tongue (keyboard) he can control every other part of his personality! Men control the movements of a large animal like the horse with a t

Sounds like a lot of Fun! I have actually done something similar with my 14 year old brother-in-law. We went to a soccer field and played 'tag' with our Boomerangs. It's not easy running away from a wing in one direction while trying to steer your wing into the opponent behind you :-) Another f

I wonder how many of us could work under the daily preassure Sal does and then take all the abuse he got on RCSE and not have some health repercussions? I doubt that I could. We hope you get well soon Sal, and look forward to having some fun flying times again with you. Jerry Robertson

I don't believe purchasing any of the currently available models is "Settling", I believe it is just a matter of choices, and value. To better clarify Dave Wenzlick's statement, It is important to note that the K2 is similar in weight to the other Foam/Obeechi F3J ships commonly flown by Europea

You are probably about right with the average weights for Euro F3J, maybe a little on the heavy side. My 'Starlite' (UK version of the 'Hera') currently tips the scales at 69oz...not sure what the US Hera's typically weigh. Must have put too much helium in the wings -Original Message--
