I'm in a quandary. As I build and fly(and sometimes crash) my airplanes, I'm having more fun than I've ever had; well, maybe except for "you-know-what". My problem is that I'm having all this fun without the benefit of completely understanding some of the things discussed on this forum, such as how line drag is computed, how to change the porting in an engine to make it a better stunt engine, and the list of things I don't understand just goes on and on. So, the question is; "Am I truly having fun, or am I living in some state of fantasy, or delusion? Should I just continue to enjoy myself in this state of blissful ignorance, or should I seek the help of a mental health professional?" :-\ Any, and all, advice will be greatly appreciated. ;) Glen

Glen lets keep it simple. Send your engine to a known engine builder like Randy Smith. Run it how he say to. Build the lightest plane possible, make it straight and rigid and use the smallest line size allowed. Don't worry about the drag of the lines because you can't do anything about it. It is what it is. Have fun!!
