P 47,

You have already started, you just don't realize it yet!

I jumped in back at the beginning of this year, and like others out here I wish that I had found the hobby back when I was a kid. I had been around some friends who had planes, and was highly interested back then, just never stepped forward to get involved.

From our other conversations, I'd say you are on the right track, no doubt. While I don't have a wealth of knowledge to offer, if you need anything please feel free to PM me and we can explore the answers at the same time.

I too have 3 children, girls in fact. If they take an interest in R/C planes I'll be one happy father, however Barbie continues to win the race at the moment. Maybe my next plane will have room in the cabin for the "Patty Wagstaff Barbie"?

Good luck man,
TX-Deck
