Thanks for the post DeanDome, I might check out that route. Looks reasonably affordable   My only issue is...I have no hobby shops near by that I can go and actually LOOK at the models and engines, and talk to the guys at the shop. I have to do all of my shopping online, and get alot of my info via forums (like I am now) Thanks again for the info. Will keep you all updated once I make my choice and get in contact with my local club.

Any other info/tips/plane ideas are MORE than welcome
