Jeff,

Wecome to a hobby that will provide you with a life long learning experience. I hope you will enjoy this hobby as much as I have. There is much more help out there now than when I started and the radios are Much better.


I must agree with Kevin, there are many good trainers out there and the LT-40 is one of the best.

I began flying R/C in 1953 the planes then had to be self correcting as the radios were not very realiable (basicly free-flight that we ocationaly iterfered with a radio signal).

My personal liking is any of the Telemasters the bigger you can afford the better. The only problem with them is that they are a little more difficult to build than most, but are also available as ARFs.
