Darn, I feel good.
It's amazing what a little bit of time will do to your point of view and your attitude.
I figured that it wasn't worth getting upset over the loss of an ARF that I could replace for $80. Sure, I was upset at losing a plane which I'd worked hard to get airborne again, but it's really not too much of an issue when one can replace the thing for relatively little money. Heck, rekitting a park flyer like a ParkZone J-3 or Flyzone Cessna from the ground up would cost about $80. A beautifully built balsa and ply warbird for that same price sounds pretty good to me. What surprises me is the lack of choices in the .25 size range. Plenty of electrics in the "general vicinity," not many nitros. So, thought I, why not just get another one of the same plane? It appears to be the least expensive ARF of its type on the market and it comes chock full of a lot of extras to boot, like a steerable tailwheel. The smaller, more expensive Great Planes Spitfire I'd been considering does not. Plus, it's BIG. All the .25 planes I found had a wingspan of around 39". The new Zero will, like Project Zero before it, measure in at 49". I'm off to the Raiden Tech or Nitro Planes website later tonight to place the order. Should be here in a couple of work days which means I can start the initial assembly on Friday if I'm lucky. Boy, am I stoked! |
