Hi everbody
My first time on RCU forums... looks pretty dang good..
After a loooooong seperation for RC'n (21 years!) I'm finally back in the saddle with this most super hobby..
Still have a bird and a new Futaba radio but need another A/C plus a new engine. Am thinking of going ARF, and would like your input about Vmax ARF and engines . Any comment? Good ,bad or whatever. Thanks guys..........Bill

I really don't know about the VMAX Engines one way or the other, but I have read several post here on RCU where a few people were having troubles with the engines, and having trouble getting Richmond R/C(VMAR) to service them without a big hassle. You might want to do some investigating in the Vmar Post. I am sure you can get some good info in there about them.
If you are just getting back into the hobby after many years, I personally would go with an engine that most people have had luck with. Starting back in the hobby with an engine that is unreliable will quickly become discouraging. My own personal recommendations would be Thunder Tiger, O.S, or Evolution in 2 strokes. There are other brands that are good also, but these are three that by a majority have a pretty good reputation! Welcome back to the hobby!
