Today was my first chance to get back here and check for responses. Thanks so much to everyone of you, I had been thinking about going with the 2 stroke just for the lower cost so for now I think that's what I'll do. I really want to build the plane myself regardless of how reasonably priced these new ARF kits are, but if I don't get the plane built in time for the spring flying season I might consider a second ARF plane to hold me over til the kit build is finished.
Thanks again to everyone, I plan on hanging around and trying to learn a little here.
Jim
