SS243, I admire you for admitting that you have a problem and wanting to do something about it. Set yourself free from electrics and come on in to the glorious world of fuel burners. Halleluyah! Stay tuned, the offers for some real help should come pouring in anytime now.......

My budy has engines and kit availible for resonable prices and he is a 1/2a nut and general good guy. He set me up with a great flying kit called a Skydrill and he has others too.

His site is www.selecthobbies.com

Well, are you into building from a plan, do you want a laser cut kit, or are you an arf guy?
It matters.

Check the sticky at the top of the forum -- there is an excellent set of plans for a good 1/2A trainer.

Once you taste the sweet nectar of glow fuel you will burn your electrics and never look back. 1/2A is real model airplane flying, end of story. Cox forever! .049 is my lucky number!

Good one! Should I petition the revver brotherhood to change mine?
