Many thanks to all for the "welcome back"and for all the good advise! Although all the equipment, aircraft, and fuels have undergone technological changes, the comraderie is still solid and inspiring!!

I've been reading the RCU forums for several weeks now and believe I have a handle on the type of radio, aircraft, and ground equipment I'll be purchasing. But, before I buy anything, I'll find the nearest field and spend some time with those who have the experience and knowledge to give solid advise.

I'm leaning toward the Great Planes Escapade .61, unknown which engine brand/type/size yet, and mostly likely the Spektrum DX7 radio system.

I'd really like to get this right the first time.

Again, any suggestions, criticism, and personal experience is greatly appreciated!

Best Regards
