Thanks for the great replies

Your words of advice will be taken very seriously. I really have no desire whatsoever to fly a trainer again and will definitely be looking for a welll behaved sport plane. I have also made contact with the local club and will be attending a meeting in the next few days. I will definitely be approaching the IP's to help me knock the dust off and will most likely buddy box for my first few flights with whatever plane I choose. Really looking forward to getting back into the hobby for sure. (Kiddos are all grown and no wife to worry about!!)

As far as my current equipment goes, well there is nothing to worry about because there is virtually nothing leftas I sold everything off shortly after leaving the hobby. I will be starting from scratch and have been doing tons of reading and research which led me to this great website. I used to be a hard core builder and even built planes for the club president way back in the day as he would trade me radio equipment which to me was priceless when I first started. I have been looking hard at all the great ARF kits and will most likely be my first plane to get back into things a little quicker. Also, I'll definitely be building one also so it's the best of both worlds to me. I'm alsovery excited about the new 2.4 GHz radiosand can't wait to try all the great features. I am kind of a "techie" anywayand embrace new technologies.

Thanks again for the replies and I'll be posting stories/pics soon. Hopefully be up and running in the next week or two. Wish me luck!!
