wayne i have bean lurking around for a couple of years now.i have not participated in this forum because i have not flown in compation since 1994.i i flew carrier from 1962 till 1994.after that life got in the way.during that time i built kits (avenger mauler bearcat etc).i designed a 36in guardian.sterling re designed it and it became the famous sterling guardian.the kit flew better then my original.i published two articles in flying models,the profile kingfisher & the 15 seagull.there were other designs along the way some successful some not.what i would like to do is pass along some of what i learned over the years if you guys don't mind. steve
