This thread turned into something very special. Even though there was and is still some disagreement on how to approach the beginning phases of the hobby, this is a wealth of valuable information for someone new to the hobby. This will allow them to choose the path they see fit for them. I have also learned a lot as a result of this thread and realized my "perfect" approach is not right for everyone, in fact it may only be right for those that only want to have fun buzzing around with these planes without crashing....very often.

Thank you to all of you that posted in here!!!
