Posted this over in the 1yr giveaway thread, and realized I hadn't posted here yet:
have been lurking here for almost a year. Joined right about the time I joined a club and started flying there. My only focus at the time was helis, but I had bought a parkzone t-28 and was looking to expand into winged flight. Since then, I have acquired 5 additional foamies from umx sbach through a radian pro. I have really enjoyed flying planes and most trips to the field I fly about 70% planes, 30% helis. I have taken the plunge in the last month to go bigger and go balsa with a 3dhs 65" vyper that I cannot wait to get in the air.. last part I need is the motor, and will finally have the funds to order next week- it is all built and ready to go otherwise. I have enjoyed the site and especially the 3d pedia. that resource alone combined with phoenix to practice ... and the umx sbach to crash and glue back together again and again.... and again are really helping my progression.
Thanks again Gary for putting this site together.
PS: also enjoying the podcasts.
