Vicman,

Many, thanks for the kind words.

What is a buddy box? I assume it is a box that allows someone to take over flying the plane if you are about to turn into a lawn dart...I think I may need one of those for me! Is that correct?

What is a 0.40 size trainer? I assume that means the size of the engine? (I am used to 500 cubic inch motors ) Is the size of an engine stated in cubic inches or in liters?

MinnFlyer,

I appreciate the comment about trying to find the local club. I will give that a shot in the next couple of days.

Who makes a good radio for the 6 channel? (Thank you for the explaination on 4 channels = rudder, elevator, ailerons, and throttle.) What do the other 2 channels do?

I think bigger is better with engines too.

Doggscube,

Many thanks for the suggestions. Where can I purchase the Sig Kadet LT-40 or other planes from? What is a trainer box? (Sorry for all the dumb questions I am sure you have answered about 1000 times in the past week.)

Thanks for the kind words.

EAP,

We have lots of computers around here. What is a flight trainer? Can you just get a program and plug it into your pc and train yourself without eating dirt?

Any advantages or disadvantages of the electric motors vs the gas motors?

Highsierrahelis,

What is a SPAD? Is it just a plane I put together myself from Home Depot?

mstroh3961,

Many thanks for the info. I had no idea there was even a club around here. We do have lots and lots of wide open spaces around here though but I have never seen anyone flying them around.

Thanks to all and sorry for the dumb questions. I hope soon I will not be asking you all what SPAD, trainer boxes, ect. are, but HOW DO I FIX MY CRASH!

David
