Welcome aboard, Skitchen.

Your planes are good choices, I think highly of the LT40. Others have had good luck with the Eagle II, though the only one I ever saw was less impressive than the LT40's at my club.

Your engine choices are fine. If you keep an eye on the literature, there will be a sale on .46 size engines this winter or spring, notice the prices so you'll recognize a real bargain.

There will also be a good deal on flightline sets. Keep your eyes open for a field box and the assorted stuff to go on sale as a set. You have plenty of time.

I wish I hadn't taken advantage of ALL the big bargains I ever saw.... but that's another story.

Good luck!
