Returning to hobby after 15 years. Need help creating a list of needed items.
I have the airplane which is a Great Planes Easy Sport .40.
I have the engine. An OS .46 FX with tuned pipe. It is badly gummed up and has a broken throttle arm on the carburetor. Any tips on getting this motor "restored" to working condition?
I plan on getting a new Radio system with new servos, receiver etc... I'd like something with 8 channels and good features for future more advanced models. Any recommendations?
i also have a glow starter + charger
Things off the top of my head that I need:
1) New caddy to carry all my crap
2) glow plug wrench
3) glow plugs
4) fuel pump to fuel airplane
5) 12v battery to power accessories
6) electric prop starter
7) electric multi panel to operate electric accessories
8) AMA membership?
anything else I'm missing? I just want to get back into flying asap. I'm mostly interested in the "must have" items. I want to also teach my step-son to fly so I will be getting him a cheaper radio that can mate up to my future 8 channel radio for learning purposes.
