Chuck.. I can't go back and look, I'm getting "temp unavailable".. they want
you to upgrade (pay them more) for the site.

If I remember correctly, your finished pictures as posted were still about
400+ kb, that is to large for most, 80% of the world is still on dialup
accounts and not high speed.
I use Paint Shop Pro, (there are other photo editors) and resize the photo
down to about 400x?? or 500x??, keep it proportional and use that to post to
the web. The file size should be down to about 100kb or less, when posting
on the web you can adjust the size picture.
800x600 is great for printing 4x6 color pictures, with great resolution, but
most computer monitors can get away with a lot less.

Try a few experiments, take the same picture at various sizes (800x600 and
on down) and see what happens when you post them to the web.

I look forward to seeing the progress of your soaring lessons.. you'll need
a 2 seater to start, most start in a SGS 2-33, transition to a 1-26 before
moving on.

I've never flown a 1-36, some say they are ok, some say they are harder to
handle. But I say... it's all in what and how you are trained.

funny how kids like to walk on things.. he can take lessons in 6 yrs and
solo at 14. He'll know a lot more by then.

enjoy

Thanks...

Is 800X600 still too large? I have DSL, so it loads ok for me. What size
would you recommend?

That was my cousins (owners brother) son. I think he is 7.

We had the right wing on the ground and were pulling the fuselage off of

the
trailer. My cousin (owner) happened to look over at the wing and saw the

kid
walking on top of the wing! My cousin (owner) just about had a heart

attack!
