Did that go with the dodgy knees and dodgy thumbs :woohoo: :woohoo: :evil: :evil:

At least Sarah knows if she runs neither Garry or I can catch her,and if she wants to chase us we cant escape,but I would still trip Garry up for good measure.

Something fairly large, and fairly slow. That way you can SEE it further away, and you have time to think about what to do with the controls on the transmitter!
And DON'T colour it blue or grey underneath!
One gaudy colour on top, and a completely different gaudy colour underneath, so you can see which way up, and which way round, the model is!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

60" wingspan, polyhedral wing so it self rights, only 3 channel.
once up it just drifts about in a lady like manner with no vices.

To make it really simple for you maybe the Multiplex Easy Cub or even the revamped Easistar from Multiplex.The Easistar took me a long way and I bought mine ready to fly so it came all built up.They recently updatwed it and its a very easy model to fly.Also the only problem mine had was the nose would shoten by going nose in first.Then,you just buy a new fuselage when it gets to short and off you go again.It has a pusher motor behind the wing so it never gets damaged in an arrivel.
