Sorry For Such A Long Post.

First, off let me say hello and thank everyone on the board for some great advice. This is my first post on RCU, and I hope to become and long and loyal member. I’ve been hovering this board for awhile like a P.1154 very slow and steady, so its time for and upgrade.

I’m a newbie to the all air RC‘s, but not really a newbie to nitro or electric itself. I own and run both a T-Maxx nitro truck, and a TC3 nitro car. Their fun and all but I’ve always been interested in flying RC’s. I’ve came up with some ideas they should help me get in to the air fun and safely or at least I hope.

First, I would like to upgrade my computer or get a newer computer that can run and handle the requirements for Real Flight’s G3 software. I’ve looked at a couple of flight Sims which include G2, Aero Flight Pro, and then G3. The reason I choose G3 over the others is because it looks like it can teach me how to get off the ground and fly then later take it further with aerobatics. Although Aero Flight Pro, seems like the best flight Sims to get, I think its more for the intermediate and/or advanced RC pilot.

I’m also going to join the AMA and join a AMA flight club. That way I would be around other addicts that can teach me the right way a to fly and maintain my planes. For my first plane I’m looking at the Hobbico Nexstar .46 trainer from tower hobbies, but I will order it from my local hobby shop instead. Link below:

I’m looking to buy the plane around the first of the summer months, but would like to join the AMA and find a club to join some were in the start of the new year. I really don’t have any ideas as of yet on a second plane, because I’m sure I’ll be on this plane until next summer or longer. The only thing I do know is I’m really amazed by 3D flying and that’s what I would like to be able to do sometime in the future.

Please if I’m on the wrong track to starting in the hobby or if there is anything I’m missing, let me know. Thank you reading such a long and seems to be a repetitive post.[]
