I'm still here, reading with much interest. You guys are a great source of information and I wish to thank you all very much. Both sides are so well represented here that the answer is even farther from me now than when I first asked, but be assured I have not been scared away from this excellent forum. I an also impressed with the way people act around here. Seams like model planes may be a hobby that will also offer my son the kind of friends that a young man needs to keep his head on level

Right now my son and I are seriously thinking of going electronic. Not like I just misspelled electric but like a computer simulator first. I am sure we will glean much more information from this forum before we get that first plane up in the air.

thank you
