RE: In the National Airspace System (NAS), what class airspace do you normally fly in?
We are a little more than three miles away from our local airport which is a non-tower (uncontrolled) airport. We fly in Class G airspace. I thought it was E; but, once again was wrong.

Like how things look Abu! Stain wise, in the second photo, stains 3 and 4 (from the left) look good to me. Don't know if they're the right color for this airplane, I just like them. Great work! In the short time you have been involved in this hobby, I have to say, you are an extremely talented builder!!

RE: Looking for a radio?
My opinion is that all radio brands are probably all of the same high quality. The manufacturers understand how fragile customer relations are and it is of the utmost imperative that the customer believes the manufacturer's products to be the best they can be. I would have no qualms about using: Futaba, JR, HiTech, Airtronics; or, any other brands of radio control systems available today.

Oh, and although I have no real interest in flying R/C helicopters, when I do fly one in my Real Flight G-3.5 simulator, I fly them Mode One! My Mode One instincts tell me pitch is controlled with my left thumb, so this is correct and natural to me. I have talked to other people who fly fixed wing, Mode One and helicopters Mode Two. I also know people who can fly fixed wing airplanes either mode

As my name should inform, I am a Mode One flyer, been so for 34 years. I also had my pilot's license.

After flying Mode One for 6 years, I soloed a Cessna 152 in 9 hours and was a quick study as my understanding of R/C flight was a real asset to me! As far as skill and one Mode

RE: How to prevent / avoid midair collisions?
In all the time I have been flying, I've only had one and both planes came away from it with only minor damage (this was lucky, I feel). I've seen many happen, mostly during combat. I agree spacing and communication do much to ward off collisions. Use common sense! However, if you get involved in combat, it's much more likely to happen.

Since I build from plans, kits and also have a few ARFs, all that would change is I wouldn't be building from kits anymore. Now... if you were to take away building from plans, I'd go back to Model Railroading as building models is far more important to me then flying and assembling ARFs.

Dan-San Abbott, in particular, seems very willing to be involved in dialog. I mostly visit the "Flying Models" thread.
