Don’t think it will be a 40 % plane but hopefully a 35 % plane with in a couple of year may not be dragging but 5 to 10 ft of the ground will be great when I get there

Personally, I say whatever works for you is the ticket. I had to chuckle as I was reading a thread on another site last night. It seems the general concenses is that no one should "EVER" go from nitro or electric straight to a large plane like a 40 center. I chuckled because that is basically what I did. Went from my nitro warbirds to my 40% 260. (Baby) With only a 50cc slick for about a minute in between. The reason I bring this up is everyone has a learning and confidence curve. Some have a quick learning curve, some (like me) not so much. But my confidence and trust in myself is pretty good. So I know what I can do, and what I dang well better not try until I really "get" it. If the Mojo65 is your ticket then don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It has taken me five years of solid week in and week out, month in and month out of flying Baby to really understand what she can and can not do. There pretty much isn't anything she can't do. I on the other hand have huge limitations. The thing that always helps me is when I do something for the first time, it's like...Oh, ok...so that wasn't so tough. Lets do it again, do it again. LOL

From what I have read it is one of the better planes to learn on at the moment I am flying a AW pro 60 with a YS 120 on it not the best setup but it will do for a while still looking to get something better.

What plane is that going on to?
After drilling, fitting, sanding, epoxy stiffening and adding two coats of poly, I have mounted the engine!
Next... drilling and sanding!! Lol

Was given two of these metal storage setups a few weeks ago. Decided it was time to put them to use. Originally they held 35mm slides. This first now stores all electronic stuff. Gotta decide what’s going on the second one but up next this whole area needs to get cleaned up. The old cubby’s on the wall are coming down and I will be building a storage setup to hold both the metal units as well as all my Plano plastic bins and a setup underneath to hold all my cordless stuff to get it off the Work bench and out of the way. My plan is to get organized this year and try to keep it that way.

Tonight I dug out the fuselage for my Tipo 750 Pattern plane project. The glass work is most definitely going to take some TLC, it's pretty rough. The number of pinholes is astronomical.

That looks like a lot of work. You are going to be filling holes for a while. I am sure you probably have a way that makes a lot easier.
