Thanks for all the input.  I figured that my heli experience would make my transition easier and I just wanted to get a second opinion.  I looked at all the recommended options and they all look good.  I am joining a new club when I get back to the states.  I already make contact with the club president and will be joining. I am currently deployed and got a wild hair and decided to look at some large scale airplanes and fell in love with the 3d capable gassers.  I was initially planning on building another 90class help but can build a nice 30class airplane for cheaper.  I have peaked in my heli progression and want a different challenge.  <div>
