You guys must be reading my mind my next question was going to be extra props, so I will need 2 or 3 Master Airscrew 10X5 3blade props. I'll check the hobbyshop first, if they don't have them I'll just order them on line. Also I took your advice, and found on Craigs list a used Thunder Tiger Master combo carry case it has a 12 volt battery, charger, starter, electric fuel pump, glow igniter, and a fixed 2 liter fuel tank,it all fits in a plastic carry case, the kit is $65.00. And yes the 10% fuel will be the ticket, I don't need or want performance at this time, I think for now slower will be better.
Thanks again for the kind words, and ALL THE GOOD ADVICE

Paul,
If it's this one it looks like you will need to get the battery that will fit in the case and those cost around $28.00 new plus a simple 12v "wall wart" type charger($10.00).. Otherwise it doesn't look to have been used much. I'd offer $45.00- $50.00
. The stock props are around $4.00 and the MA props are around $8.00. The closest size MA prop to match the stock one is the 10X5. You may want to get a stock one for a spare and a MA one to try. If your instructor approves then you can stick with the MA prop. Your lhs should be able to bring them in for you.
