I think I'll take you up on that. I'll pm you for more details.

So a battery and charger. Is there a brand preference? I know that's a mixed question(there is no perfect battery) but I don't want to get any of the bad brands. For spending on new parts/toys well this is how I look at it. You make money to spend it. I spent 4 years as an SRA in the Airforce and I spent another 5 in the oil fields. With all that me and my wife have our first home I've got my two babies (99 f250 SD 7.3 and a 2001 f350sd 7.3) two salt water reef tanks and now I'm starting another hobby. Sorry for off subject. I'm really excited to get this plane flying. But I don't want to rush it because with my luck what ever I rush either breaks or doesn't come out right.
