Default RE: Taking the plunge into the RC world!

Hi Fred, first off I live in Alberta so we are neighbours, sort of. The liability insurance in Canada is called MAAC. I have included the link below. Its inexpensive and pays for itself. I like to order my stuff from Great Hobbies because of the prices and great service. IF you have a MAAC card, shipping is free if your order is over $100.00. For a trainer I would look at others such as the Sig LT40. Reason, it has balsa reinforced sides whcih is pretty sturdy and its a gret flyer. The Kadet Senior has criss crossing sticks that make up the fuselage. Hit something with that, and all the little sticks go flying whcih takes hours to try and repiece together! On the engine, as someone else suggested go with the Thuinder Tiger PRo 46. Much more relaible and easy to adjust. The OS 46AX is a great engine as well but more money. Others have commented on the radio so all I will say is pick one of 2 brands, either Futaba or Airtronics. Other brands have issues with servos, buddy boxes, ect. Hope this helps, Fast!
