I've been thinking about getting back into RC planes and pattern flying again. I haven't done it since the early 90s when frequency changes and babies ended my hobby for quite a while. I have a .40 trainer, a .60 size ugly stick, and a Dalotel from the mid-80s. It's been so long, I'm going back to square one starting with the trainer, playing around on the stick, and hopefully working on getting the Dalotel back to top shape. Mainly, I need new engines and radios.

The top of the line .60 OS pump engine I have was under powered for the Dalotel. It never really flew like it should have. It would be nice if I could get it running for the stick. It's all gummed up, and I bet the bearings are all rusted up. Anyone think that might be a possibility? Otherwise, what engine would be really impressive in the Dalotel?

For radios, I want two. One to train my grandson on and possibly later move into the stick. For the other, I want something that will take me as far as I want to go. What would you guys recommend?
