thanks for the info guys, and yes I am a bit of a beginner. I have never flown a gas powered bird before, but many electrics. I love scale planes, and yes of course ill find a local to instrut me with the completed plane. ill build it first, but wont fly it until the instructor is ready to turn off the trainer...

The point that I always look at is, that as a plastic modeller for years, a balsa scale corsair is still a model, just one that operationally flies. lol

Regarding the answers to my questions. I guess I can run a charging line w/ jack to the wing section in the fold so that I can charge it when its folded, and therefore cant be viewed when the wings are extended.

Maybe Ill try a Hitec rx.....
