Michael, Thank you very much for your efforts. I will print all your info and then go browsing. I love my Superstar EP and I still have to get an instructor for it. I have flown it (hand launch) by myself, at the local soccer field and it is a dream to fly. Unfortunately I have some trouble on the approach and have crashed it 5 times with only minor damage, wich says a lot for the plane and also my every day training on my Real Flight G3 simulator. I already have an instructor for my next flight. The big thing is that my wife would like to get me a nitro trainer for Christmas and it would be best to get a combo since I also need a four channel radio. I think $400.00 or less would be affordable for us. I researched the P-51 and it is a beauty but I am limited to one plane right now so the more practical choice, I think, would be some of the ones you recommend. The P-51 has some unknowns so I will wait for later reviews on it. The tower trainer, I believe, has a ball bearing engine and buddy box radio for under $300.00. I am 58 years old so my learning curve may be a little slow, but I think I can eventually master it. One very fortunate thing is that I already have a great work shop with a lot of small tools including a lot of electronics. I do not need to invest in a lot of new r/c equipment. Again, Thank you Michael for all the valuable info. It is sure appreciated . Sincerely, Mike
