I am afraid this is a bit of a sob story,

I recently discovered that my cancer has spread to my liver and the Doctors are now giving me 2 yrs. tops with treatment.
Because of this i am forced to try speeding up my plans for building my first plane, I was planning on doing it next winter.
My Mother has agreed to purchase a [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0161p?&I=LZ1184]Rapture .40 Kit/Tower .46 RC Kit [/link] for my birthday and I think I can scrape enough change to upgrade to the ABC Engine Combo.

I guess I am looking for all other materials and help in building this plane I can get.
I also guess I need to get a list together of the things I need? Perhaps others could help in this matter since it is my first build.
[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0161p?&I=LZ1205**]Here is a link for the supplies Tower[/link] says I need, does this cover everything?
I do have a JR Quattro transmitter if that helps.

Other than my wifes part time check we have not seen income for over 6 months and S.S. starts in April. So money is an issue.
I'm really thinking it would be good therapy to have something to do with my hands at this point, I need some diversion.

A couple of months ago I purchased a ready to fly Alpha 40 as this has always been my dream to fly and build planes since I can remember. I have yet to fly as the weather here in WI is not cooperating. Also I still need to find a instructor but I do have a couple of leads on that.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am hoping you can help me with my dreams.
