Crap man, that was fast. I just clicked ok on this thread, and was checking my mail and there was another post for this thread in my e-mail. WOW......

Well, NO please don't do that. PLEASE PLEASE don't. If you got a P-51 THAT would be a waste of money. If you were just to use someone elses plane for training, and then go to a fast, manauverable plane, you WILL crash. I know. It doesn't matter how good you are.

I know that you want to move up like I wanted to. I was soloing about a week after my first flight of my Superstar, and I was already thinking about another plane, but not a P-51.......PLEASE....I can't stress enought to you to now go from a trainer to a fast plane. Shute man, I am like you and only have 2 planes and am saving up to get a helicopter this coming Christmas or maybe even sooner.

Oh, now that I think about it, try to get a simulator. I recommend the Real Flight G2 (generation 2). This will save you some learning, um....not save learning but it should help you learn faster and easier. Maybe. i know, you will go to the LHS and look at the price of RF (Real Flight) and be like.....CRAP MAN, I CAN"T GET THIS.....unless you have the money, at my LHS, this sim is almost $130....much too much for me, but I'm gonna have to get it so I can "train" for when I get my heli. I have had a demo for the RF and loved it. There is so much you can do on it.

Again, if another question pops up, then ask me or anybody and I'll do my best to help.

BTW, how young(I don't like the word old, when you're flying R/C, you're never old!!! HEHEHEHEh) are you?

Oh yeah, there are alot of trainers out there: Hobbico Superstar, Arrow, but I would recommend the Superstar. Also out there is the new Hobbico Nextar. Take a look at it [link=http://www.hobbiconexstar.com/]HERE: The Hobbico Nextar[/link]


Just noticed the rest of your post and you asked what is a Futaba? That is a brand of radios to use. Some major ones are: JR, Airtronics, Polk, and of course Futaba
