Cheers Henk, i'm getting there slowly with all this, and sometimes dumb questions have to be asked (although no such thing as a dumb question when you don't know i suppose)

The cheap 27mhz am gear that came with the plane decided to cut the throttle 3 metres up from take-off and slam it nose first into the ground, breaking the nose section right off, hence the oh well, get some better radio gear then thought. Hopefully the next time will be more successful, aint giving up though, love it !!!
