The last mark I put on my bench bench was a little cutie named Cara, 22, 105 pounds, 5' 4" Oh........... Not that kind of bench mark!

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That is about how long it takes me to get my 132 inch span RES model ready to fly after I get to the field. The model fits in my van ready to fly except that the outer wing panels have to be plugged in and taped on. The model was designed with a 3 piece wing with a 48 inch center wing that will fit in my van when bolted to the fuselage. If someone has a winch set up, it takes me longer that that to get from my van to the winch. If Brian Smith is there, he often has my model assembled by the time I get out of the van. :) Chuck Chuck, add the price of the van required to haul the plane, add the price of the winch or at least a histart and the time to lay it out or set it up plus retrieve it and put it away. When I first went to electrics in an all-gas club, one of the things I loved about it was the rest of the guys had to sit there after flights with squirt bottles of soap and baby diapers or paper towels, cleaning all the goo off their planes before they could even put them in the trunk. Me, I'd turn off the TX and RX, pop the wing off, toss them in the trunk of my compact car and head out the gate, whistling. The DLG guys have the same freedom plus more possible (smaller) sites to fly from. DGMW: I like the big planes. I am working on one myself. But I also have a cheap Boomer flying wing DLG that cost me under a hundred all-up, and it can go anywhere, anytime.
