Thanks guys for the replies. I think assembling a kit would be fun, but i am building my entire house by myself, while we live in our camper. Not much space or time for that sort of thing right now. Thus ARF and electric planes for me right now. I just want to be able to take half an hour and fly when i get the chance.

I might go ahead and order the HK Stick 1500 for now. Then i can order the rest of the ectronic later.

I did some more flying again last night after the sun had go e behind the trees. There was a steady 5 mph ish wind and it was a lot of fun to play in as i could take the plane up and just glide around silently like a hawk. I went through two 2200 ah packs and landed a dozen times or so to work on my landing skills. All landings were soft and where i wanted this time. Yea, i am getting the hang of it.

I appreciate the advise for getting an instructor, but as i said in my other post, the closest club is around an hour and a half from me. So i will not be seeking an instructor because i do not have the three hours just to put into driving. Besides i am getting where crashes are less frequent and i can actual land and fly where i intend to. I am happy with my progress so far.

Thanks. I will keep you guys up to date on my progress.
