There's a reason they call it the bleeding edge, and you're way out on it, Sterling. Sorry to hear of the frustration, but it's way too late to quit now.

Hmm, sounds like you need to take up more shooting, and just imagine the targets as the people who are pissing you off. Works for me anyway.

Look at the bright side, you'd just go buy a boat and have the same **** happen and it would cost just the same. And you would be surrounded by strippers...........wait.......... that's how I ended back up with Porsches.

Carry on.

Oh, to add.

I dropped off a set of aero mirrors for painting back at the end of October and they said it would be a week. I don't know what todays date is, but I'm pretty sure a week has passed and I don't have any mirrors.

Having a running 928 is easy... compared to what you aspire to.

Sterling, the grass is not necessarily greener in other hobbies. You'd likely find the same frustrations with other potential hobbies too, unfortunately. Better to stick with the hobby you know, and be extra cautious with people who over promise and under deliver. Hang in there!! :-)

I do pretty much 100% of my own work just for this reason. But still I often feel like walking away. It still sucks when it is something you planned on doing yourself and you are a year late getting it done or if you finally get it done and it later fails or is just not good enough.

Sterling. Don't take up R/C Helicopters. They have a shorter MTBF than your engine and it would frustrate you even more. At least a 928 isn't hundreds of parts desperately trying to get away from each other like and R/C Heli is.

Stick with it man. You are an inspiration.
