Hi jkkissick, first off Tower Hobbies are good people to deal with. I am in Canada and buy stuff from them now and then with no problems. Pt40 kit tips: If they still list 2 different dihedral settings for the wings, I believe they call the smaller setting a sport wing then go with the smaller setting. Ie, if they list either 4" diehdral or 2" dihedral then go with the 2" setting! This determines the angle from level that the 2 wing halves are attached. The higher setting listed is way too much even for a trainer, trust me on this one!! The higher setting makes the plane difficult to control when it gets windy. Other than that just take your time, follow the directions and have a pencil to check off each step. That way when you quit for the night you can tell where you left off the next day. Find out where you are going to fly. If you have been following the threads then you know that you will need to find an RC club to learn to fly. Most RC clubs have buddy boxes available for instructors use for training new flyers but the buddy boxes are brand specific. No point buying Airtronics radio if the club only has Futaba buddy boxes so check it out before you buy. If the club has both brands then see what feels better in your hands or which one you like the looks of better. Both are considered the standard brands and are of good quality so take your pick. Have fun, Fast!
