Hey, I almost forgot. If you get to a local club or LHS, they will probably have some good used gear that will save you a ton of money. There is no better place on the web than here to find great deals. I got a 40 size Avistar trainer ARF that needed the wing recovered for $30.00. I picked up a complete RTF set-up with 6 channel radio and gear, new unused Magnum 40 engine starter and plane for $80.00, it also needed re-covered. Good Luck!
