Due to the 1 sheet, I use the LongEZ as a benchmark for my needle cutter. Means I have dozens cut out. It is an easy build. But flying it is a different story. It is twitchy, takes fore thought, goes exactly where you point it, whether to meant to point it there or not, only corrects its self when you correct it. I love it. A ton of fun! A real prop eater! For experienced pilots only. (I may not be experienced enough lol)

I know nothing!
Holy cow! That's my last motorcycle! My intent was for this hobby to replace my motorcycle addiction, since I can't ride anymore. I'm feeling what you do, only as a noob, it's every plane I build.
You've just shown me that the "Oh, crap, no!" Seat-of-the-pants, half-second to react time, to pull out of disaster is ongoing. Not only that, but when I get too comfortable, I can take on a plane with a more challenging flight characteristic. I'm already doing that, I was just personally afraid that in a year or two I'd be "Been there, done that." Now I know I'll be at this for YEARS! Thank you.
I just need to get proficient enough to be able to fly lots of designs, and when I find the one that pushes me like that one pushes you? I rode everywhere all the time. My every day off was taken up by either servicing or riding that last bike of mine. Perfection was my goal. The perfect line down a twisty road, just as fast as I could make it happen.
You have no idea what you've just done for me with your innocent sentences. My next flight in the Mini Scout Challenge is going to be very interesting indeed! The connection is made. My skills need a lot of work, but I'm not just flying that plane. I'm riding it. Thank you.

Glad I could make an impact. I too ride. Have been for 33yrs since i was 10. Rode and raced everything. Nice thing about rc airplanes is your life is not on the line.Holy cow!

There is so much to do in this hobby, it would be hard to get bored. Last year I flew my first 3d plane. Still lots of maneuvers I have not attempted, but I felt I was getting better then most in my club. Then I did an edf. Whole new set of skills! Always something to grow into! Best part of FT style planes is when you pile it in, it is only $5-$15. My latest big plane on the bench is more like $4000 to pile it in. Both equally fun. But you laugh and smile a lot more after crashing a foam board plane!
