Thanks for the feedback, was starting to feel even more outdated than my flight gear with the lack of response on the forum.
As for the cub idea that is exactly where I am heading. I have a hangar 9 Super Cub 1/4 scale ( white and red scheme) powered with a Zenoah G26 that i am fixing the damage that sustained during the 6 year of storage. Quite looking forward to that. Just have one problem, can not find the wing tube and can not find anywhere the WorldTex fabric used, as I need to recover the rudder and I see that this model has been discontinued and horizon does not carry parts for it.
second project is also restoring my Kangkle Laser 2000 with the DA50. Also need some parts, new cowl, flying wires for tail section and also a wing tube. Good news is that kangke has parts in stock, so waiting on shipping cost and will place an order.
The 3rd project will probably be a war bird, looking at a 1/4 scale Mustang. I see that Top Flight and hangar 9 make them ARF, not sure which one is the best one, or if there are others to consider. I was thinking reusing my old and trusted 3W 42. It is heavy so should work well on this application.
lastly the radio, I have been looking and that is where the hobby has moved up allot. I was considering the new Spektrum 18ch, or the JR 11x but I am concerned with the new 2.4Ghz systems. I see that they have two types of modulation for this radios and various receivers. Worst case I just need to get a new Nicd battery for my JR8103. Just concerned that one day I lose the configuration on all the models and not looking to have the. Helis configured again.
