I don't know what i should get for radio gear... sugestions?
also, i'm really interested how some planes leave thick smoke trails, like the planes you see at air shows have... Is this engine capable of doing this???
also is there a certain nitro fuel i should use for this engine? Or will the regular 20% fuel i use in my cars work?
Thanks all.

Hello, RedRider
If you can afford it go ahead an get at least a 6 channel radio something like a JR-662 or a JR-6102 it will save you money in the long run because you will not have to upgrade for your next plane and they have a 5 and 6 model memory.
I agree with Paul about the Tower Hobbies 40 size trainer and .40 engine it may not handle windy days very well. I'm building a SIG LT-40 right now and I love it already. It has a wing span of almost 6 feet and I've never heard anything bad about it. You can power it with a .46. Thats my 2 cents.
