RE: basic tune up i need to know?
I agree with youngspeed.
I know it is easier to buy things from Tower Hobbies and cheaper, but I always make it a point ot buy something from my LHS. What do I get in return, ADVICE. It is an inmeasuable resource that you should use.
On this site - many bash or write about their LHSs in bad words, but I bet they have all gotten sound advice from their LHS.
I just hope you got one by you.
