Hi William O.

First welcome back to the hobby.

As said above the LT-40 is a good choice, as for engines due to the coast of glow fuel, I would suggest you look into the new 20 cc gas engines, they are just as reliable and much cheeper to run. They also require less support equipment, and as all things there is a learning curve.

I would also go to the AMA web sight and look up a local RC club they may even have an old geezer/yung guy that would be willing to help you, and of corse check out your local hobby shop (LHS)

Good Luck with your new adventure

Cheers Bob T
