I have never built an RC plane before and right off the bat I am going for a big one here.

Starting a design from scratch - not a scale of an exsisting airplne.
Powered by 100% ethanol engine.

It will be a long time from drawing board to construction, but wanted to start early with this question.

Where do you guys/gals get your supplies. Any good websites or stores that are good for someone custom building.
