Suggestions on field equipment. I'm a newbie to. Make it easy on yourself, buy a field box and the field accessory together. I purchased the package from Tower Hobbies for about $120.00. It includes everything you will need. As for fuel I run a 10% nitro - seems to work fine in the Evolution Trainer engine. That servo pop your hearing is normal, it dissapates, some what with time - or at least my did. As a newbie I was real concerned about it too.

Hope this helps,
