But, Ok here goes that evil opinion thing agine, yes mine
I believe your absolute best finds and buys will be local and the best way to source that is by networking your local club(s) . Who you really want to source are the fellows who have lots of that stuff but really won,t be bothered by running and add for a ten dollar item like that Focus Four. Network locally and there are always sometimes older and younger who are leaving the hobby/sport and never bother to run adds. The are there but ya gotta go to those clubs and network.

The club I belong to their monthly meetings are on the first Monday of the month at 6:30 pm and the last two times I had to work late and could not make them. Maybe next month. If any of you guys come across a Hitec Prism 7 or Focus 4 transmitter (preferably with a channel 48 crystal) let me know. I am willing to pay to ship it to me. I went ahead and invested in a Real Flight 7.5 flight sim. I pretty much mastered the Nexstar trainer but any other plane like a Hobbico Twinstar is still very difficult. Are the Twinstars difficult to fly in real life too?
