Welcome to RCU Skeeter and welcom back to the hobby!

As you said, many things have changed. For one, there are not as many kits around as there used to be. Most companies have switched to selling ARFs. The good news is, there are a lot of very good ARFs on the market. But if you prefer to build, there are still a lot of good kits available too.

The next thing is radios. The latest advancement in radios is we have recently (in the past 3 years or so) started using the 2.4GHz band. The really nice thing here is that they are less prone to interference and NO MORE FREQUENCY PIN!

Electric aricraft has also become VERY popular.

There's more to say than you can imagine, so if you have specific questions, ask away!

In the meantime, click on the Magazine tab at the top of the page and take a look at some of the new products.
