I have just finished the final touches on my new Lil' Wizard. It is now hanging up in my room and I am itching to get it air born. I also got some picture of it.

Looks great Ryan. Now you just need to get your mits on a good old Black Widow.
My first build was also Carl Goldberg, a Stuntman 23. I built it by myself w/ no guidance. With 50+ coats of paint, I bet it weighed about 4 pounds.

Once you get it in the air, let us know how it flies.

Hey Ryan,
Good job.Too bad it wasn't ready when we flew at your Grandpa's farm.I think, as you go further into this hobby, you'll find that building is just as much fun as flying.There's no thrill quite like seeing something you built with your own hands take off and fly.

Mr. Propbuster,

Looks great---can I borrow it? (I busted mine last week....so you are so waaaaay ahead of me.) I like the "stealth" colors! I'm thinking that you figured out how to install a jet engine, because I don't see a PROP on it yet! Right? (Can you "borrow" an engine off the "heavy half-A?")

Hope you have a great time flying it! Betcha your knees shake a little on the first flight!!!

The only thing that Dad helped with was the bending of the push rod. ( I hope he still lets me fly it.)

I am a retread, - I did C/L in my youth and did not know what I was doing then other then having fun. And not much has changed.

Thank you. I am looking forward to building more. I have learned how fun flying is but now know that building is half of the fun.
Can't wait for the Nat's we leave tomorrow
