I've been updating and remodeling my Sharon and XP3. The latter needed dents removed and I changed the wing servos. Due of a variety of circumstances I haven't had time to fly either plane all that much, but next season I intend to go full blast. I want to practice and become good enough to go to contests without fear of killing innocent bystanders in the landing zone (precision landing ain't my thing). To practice winter flights I got out the Sharon last weekend, and I managed to fly enough to qualify for LSF level I. Level II should not be a problem either, as I've done far more than that in the past, but this will have to wait untill the Summer.
As for new planes, I've building moderately hard on my Sierra and it is nearly done except for the lacquering the wings. I expect this plane to be perfect for keeping in the car together with the XP3 - you know, to get them out whenever there is an occasion to fly. Already I plan to prolong a work related car trip to Washington DC (from Springfield, IL) by taking a few days vacation along I 64 and visiting various slope sites (Blue Ridge Mnts, Frankfurt Kty). I cannot wait to see some nice slopes to fly this Sierra. I've been told to bring something foamy as well since some slopes may be hard to land on. So, I will take along my old Zagi just in case. --- Rense Lange --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
