The closest club to here is over an hour away. I dont get off work till close to 6pm. So that leaves me with only a little time before its dark. And my lazy #%% is not getting up before work to fly. So I would only be able to go on the weekends. So I dont really want to join a club. If there was one closer I would consider, but it really would be more hassle than its worth.

I have pretty much gathered from all the great info that I have received on here that I can buy a basic trainer and I should be just fine.

I have an AEROBIRD now. I fly it with absolutely no problems any more. I can't imagine a starter trainer glow plug plane can be THAT much different than the AEROBIRD as far as flying. I am a mechanical engineer, so hopefully figuring out the fuel setting won't be that difficult. My only real concern is landing it. I land my aerobird now on a gravel road next to a field. The AEROBIRD is sturdy so when it hits a pot hole in the road I dont care. I am concered that a balsa plane with monokote will not like that too much. But I will do some more research to find out exactly which plane I want. I am leaning towards the LT 40. I plan to get one after Christmas.


Oh, one more question. Can you take the gear off the LT40 and land it on the belly in grass?

Thanks a lot guys,
