Cool plane. Love the video! It is amazing!

Two years ago I built a .40 size trainer - SIG Kadet LT-40. I don't knock ARFs or RTFs, but I prefer building kits myself instead. I get a lot of enjoyment from the building process. It's not for everyone, I know. So anyway, I was asking a guy at the hobby shop where I could fly it, and another customer chimed in and invited me to his flying club. They have an asphalt landing runway on a few acres of river bottom land. Brought the plane out and flew it with him, he did the takeoffs and landings, it flew really well. Had several flights that day. Even did a few loops. Haven't flown since. Got too busy with house projects - built a deck, put in wood floors, etc. (Flying season is April to October in MN, the rest of the year is building season)

Last winter I decided I wanted a park flyer instead of the big glow fuel machine, so I built a SIG 1909 Antoinette. I decided pretty quickly that I did not want to learn how to fly with it, as it is pretty fragile. So now I am looking for an electric park flyer (trainer) to build. Thinking about a Great Planes Tutor.

The budget director hates this hobby, she says it is too expensive. If I did not have so many other interests it wouldn't be a problem. Anyway, if you are interested, I can take a couple photos of my two planes and post them.
