Thanks, 3DMike. 'Appreciate the welcome note. I'm from Marion, Iowa. Actually got to fly today despite the thermometer hitting -20 F last night. It
was 10 degrees and sunny this afternoon with 5 mph winds so I took the afternoon off and threw some balsa in the air. I started with skis on a trainer and did 50 touch-and-goes in the snow. Really fun. Then I flew my scratch-built KX2 (more appropriate for this forum; picture below). It was the fourth flight and since I'm a 3D Newbie I'm working on CG issues. 'Still have a way to go to get it flying right. I hope to soon get a serious 3D machine. Probably PA, EF or 3DHS. TBD...

You're welcome! That's one really nice scratch build! Do you use a hand warmer for those temps!?!?! Holy cow! I can't fly when it's in the low 40's cause my hands just won't work!

Cool [MENTION=3882]peafittyone[/MENTION]. That plane looks pretty capable. Love the huge control surfaces

Thanks, gents. It's fun to fly. Question: what adjustments should I make when on knife edge it pulls pretty hard to the landing gear and when inverted it climbs significantly? Mix in elevator with rudder for the former and move the CG forward for the latter?

Thanks, for the welcome 3DMike!! I'm from Fresno Ca. I started flying control line when I was 6. Started flying RC in 1969 flew pattern for more years than I want to count. Wanted to try something else so I started flying Helicopters about 4 years ago. Have a Trex 450L and a 600. Started flying some 3D with a Visonaire last year and loved it. I was looking around the web at some of the 3D websites when I landed on Twisted Hobbies web site. I saw the video of Rolling Circle flying his Click NG. Beautiful flying I bought a Crack Laser. Looking forward to starting the build next week
Thanks!!
