Hi all. A couple of weeks ago i was walking past a Model shop in Brighton when i saw, in the window, a rather nice, big, Pegasus 40. Impressed, i walked into the store and asked about it. The bloke behind the counter told me i would need an engine/r.c etc as it was just the plane on its own for £99. I managed to get a deal from him, £300 for everything. . .. .Great i thought, i will be flying this weekend..!! Not so. It took me about 4 days to build (Almost Ready To Fly..!! Yea right.!!) and when it was built, i decided to call the local flying club for tips where to fly etc. . .The lad on the phone was very helpful, told me everything i need to know. This includes i can't fly where i want to except in designated areas and i have to be a member of a club for insurance purposes. The next meeting of the local club is on the 6th of April and i am working lates that evening so i may not be able to make it until next month. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> . .. .Oh well, at least i have got all the gear, have had for a few weeks now but i dont know when i will be a ble to fly the thing. I tried to start the engine up in the garden a few days ago but to no avail. I cant even have the pleasure of hearing at least some of the 300 quid i spent..!. .. .All i really want to do is have someone to look at it as its the first time i have done this model building and i just know there are a few things that i have done wrong. So, here's hoping to see some of you maybe in the future if your in the south of England. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
