I'm not up on current events as posted in here. Did you ever buy that RC airplane? The Apprentice?
If you didn't (or even if you did), here's an article with a build video that you may be interested in:
http://www.modelaviation.com/apprentices
It didn't quite work correctly for me when I went there, so if you'd like, I can send you the article via email. It appeared in a recent Model Aviation magazine.
YES! That's it. It's sitting on my table now, waiting for it's first flight tomorrow. Instructor
pilot is all lined up, winds are supposed to be less than 10mph, and we're meeting at 7:30. I can't
wait.
That was a great article. This model seems expensive at $275, which is what my wife paid for it. But
when I was last flying model airplanes, about 35 years ago, it would cost well north of $1000 to get
a model with these capabilities and a five-channel transmitter.
