Thanks everybody for the info...this site is a great help to me...I just got my AMA card in the mail today, so weather permiting I will be headed to the local flying club this weekend. I also posted some pics of my P51 that needs some attention to get it back in the air. It's in the beginners forum under "what to do" b/c the covering, what ever it is is in bad shape in a couple of areas. Take a look if you get the chance. It has an OS 61 in it...if I remember correctly it is really fast and doesn't like it when I fly it[>:] I only flew it once or twice before I got out of the hobby for awhile (college and Navy) Well anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me info/advice...THANKS
