The Skyray has a lot of good information of setting the airplane up, learning to fly, etc. Don't recall what the other airplane has.

No it's not rocket science. But he did politely ask a question which in turn deserves an encouraging answer. Who peed in your corn flakes today chief?

Frank,

He's asked the same question over and over. There is no right answer. It's like saying which is better," a Chevy or a Ford"?. There is no right answer and it certainly isn't rocket science.

For all practical purposes, the two airplanes are basically a rock on a string and their "flight" characteristics are the same. Both just as easy to build, fly and repair. Pick one. The only limiting factor would be availability. I told him I would sell him a Sprtsman 23 which makes it the easier of the two to obtain.

No one peed in my cornflakes as I can no longer take food by mouth besides I don't even like cornflakes.

No more on this subject from me.

The difference is that the government owns Chevy and Ford owns Ford.
So I think I would prefer a Ford.

I want to thank Jim, Frank, and 10% nitro for helping me out on this. I am just getting started in control-line and can use all the advise I can get.
