Don't feel bad Ed, my Ringmaster is still in the rafters of the shop and I still didn't get out to fly.
About the 1/2A fun. Reminds me of a couple of years ago when the son, daughter and grandkids went up to the school ground to fly the 1/2A's. Out of six planes, one was still intact when it got too dark to fly. I was finally sitting on the grass watching evey one fly as the son fueled and restarted the engines. Even the neighbor got in some handle time. May have to have a 1/2A fun fly sometime. DOC Holliday
