I'm finding that the more I learn about this, the more I want to learn. And I still want to find the Wallace interview of Gene. It made me want to step on Wallace's face and grind.

I'm getting back into the swing of flying r/c with this one, and since it seems sturdy enough to handle all the hell I can manage to put it through with minimal repair costs, I'm willing to stick it out with this plane for a bit longer. I think I will, however, start flying it in pro mode once I get the control surface issues resolved. It's too damn sluggish in sport mode for my tastes and already limited skills.

That fascinates me to no end, I have to say. Perhaps I'll have to make a trip down there one day. I'd love to meet him in person. But perhaps he's tired of that portion of his past and the hornets' nest it turned into.

Mike Wallace!! That's it! Thank you very much! I appreciate your tenacity in this mini-endeavor.

You know, that face does look familiar, but I could have sworn it was a bigger name, like Koppel or one of those. I can't seem to remember. Regardless, the ultimate goal for me is to find the actual video of the interview with Hasenfus and the subsequent interview with Noriega. Thanks for the assistance, John.

Not to be terribly snide about this, but there's a reason I asked here, i.e. had already Googled it and kept getting loads of links about Posada's role in all of that which, while interesting, is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the tip. I remember that the reporter is someone of note in that industry, but I can't remember who it was. That reporter even went and made a subsequent interview with Noriega and asked that he have mercy and send Hasenfus home in time for the holidays. I can see the reporter's face in my mind but I can't remember his name!

I haven't actually had to replace a tail yet, remarkably, but I'll check those wheels and holes on the control horns. We'll be out at the DZ Saturday (or I will, at least; Cora may be flying REAL planes) and I'll bring it with me. And I believe you're right with regard to pro mode: what do I REALLY have to lose?

Does anyone remember who it was from the American media who interviewed Hasenfus after he was rolled up by Noriega's folks? I can't remember for the life of me, and I'm trying to find the video of that interview for educational purposes.

I'm trying not to think about it or I'll never get through the next couple of weeks at work without peeing myself repeatedly.

Thanks for the advice, Ron. I'm now encountering some control surface inefficiencies that I can't determine the exact source of. I've set the lines for the tail properly, so that the control surfaces are level with the rest of the tail, but I've noticed that the right side moves significantly more than the left, even with a full battery charge. The trim is set neutral on the radio, and there doesn't appear to be any undue tension on the control line for the left side. I'm not sure what to check next. I spend more flying time trying to correct for level flight than anything, and I'm getting tired of blasting through two wings a week. Any suggestions?

You've just ordered yourself a heaping helping of falsetto-voiced Backstreet Boys songs. Sleep well now, for Dublin will rob you of all sleep opportunities...or rather *I* will.

Let me go check the guest list in our tent and see who's on it. I mean, I'd hate to tranq someone who might fall and take up valuable packing space.

I wondered if you might use it for those purposes, after watching you ghost it in behind unwary bystanders on the DZ. I'd be interested in a similar spycam getup once I've learned the fine art of not snapping a pair of wings a week. Also, I figure you would be the man to answer the question about the pro mode on the Challenger, Chuck.

I'm thinking that all we'll need to do is get you to sing or shout excessively in or about the tent each evening, and we'll have peace and quiet the next day as your larynx recovers. Otherwise, The Mama and I will be forced to join forces and bind and gag you for several hours each day at the boogie.
